Melbourne based five-piece electronic/trip-hop band KALACOMA explore their avant-garde influences through their latest single, 'Kaleidoscoper'.

With a sound unique to the band, the quintet challenge their listeners by pushing the boundaries of contemporary alternative pop songwriting. Known for their experimentation with rhythms and time signatures, evident through their first track, 'There For', Kalacoma have stepped it up a notch (or 10) with the release of their newest track, 'Kaleidoscoper'.

The track itself challenges several standard pop song elements such as structure; rhythmic and melodic. The fusion of acoustic and electronic components blended with obscure rhythmic layering and killer falsetto vocals from lead singer, Nick Herrera is almost overwhelming to the listener's already contemporary based programmed ears. Weirdly enough, this oddly eccentric and mind-boggling track almost consumes me every time and I can't stop playing it back. Take a listen!
