Beat Box: Poom, Let’s Go Back To My Room

So you’re sick of all your music and ready for some new tunes to rock out to? Have no fear, Culturcosm is here to rescue you from your funkless funk with the latest sounds from the music scene. Listen up.

Everyone appreciates a little nostalgia. Turning the clocks back helps us understand where we’ve been and informs where we’re going. And, if nothing else, we get a kick out of reliving our dependance on Aqua Net.




It’s no secret that we’ve had our time machines tuned to the ’60s for a while. From Mad Men-inspired capsule collections to the Oscar-nominated film “An Education,” we’ve all but resurrected the Mashed Potato. Enter “Rollercoaster,” the new single from French sensation Poom. Its playful arrangements of banjo, harmonica and keyboards combine the best of folk and electro/pop. And its video, a showcase for the best of 1960s style. Director Côme de Bouchony animated his stars into layouts from of-the-era French music magazine “Salut les copains.” Ya dig?
