Having began within the EDM weblog world again in 2014, I do know a factor or two about throwing shade. In case you suppose EDM Twitter is dangerous now, it was the precise wild wild west with loads of producers, followers, and even promoters unafraid to throw shade any which manner, warranted or not. Now, issues have turn out to be a bit extra tame — however SoCal duo Koastle are bringing shade again with their new track, “Literal Targets.”
Fed up with the thoughts video games and superficial elements of modern-day courting, Nashville songwriter Jake Neumar calls out the vanity of the so-called “primary” behaviors defining this era.
Koastle shares how the track developed: “This track has been three years within the making. We wrote this track with some good buddies of ours. It began out once we have been hanging within the room, scrolling by means of Instagram. We noticed a submit from a lady that we went to varsity with, posing together with her boyfriend on the pool. As we have been going by means of the feedback, there have been so many ‘faux’ feedback from folks that we knew would speak poorly about this lady behind her again. The feedback have been issues like ‘Omg y’all are good,’ ‘Can I be you?,’ and lastly, ‘Wow, Literal Targets,’ therefore the track title. So, lengthy story quick, we wrote a track about primary people who find themselves faux on Instagram.”
