Groove! (feat. Tom Misch)
Cory Wong
Cory Wong's collaboration with Tom Misch crackles with a kind of electric mutual admiration — two guitar-forward musicians finding a shared language in the pocket. The track rides a tight, syncopated funk groove where every element locks in with percussive precision: clipped guitar stabs, a bass line that walks and snaps in equal measure, and drums that feel both controlled and irresistibly loose. Misch's silkier, more melodic guitar sensibility creates a gorgeous tension against Wong's machine-gun chord rhythms, the two weaving in and out like a conversation between friends who finish each other's sentences. There's no wasted space — the production is bright and clean, almost crystalline, yet the playing breathes. The feeling is pure kinetic joy, the musical equivalent of a fast car on an open highway at golden hour. It's music that makes the body move before the mind has processed what's happening. Best heard loud, through good speakers, at a party that's just found its rhythm.
