Cooler Than Me EP

Mike Posner

Crystalline synth-pop with a collegiate edge. A snapshot of late-2000s blog-pop that balances club-ready hooks with a distinct, snarky vulnerability.

The sound of being too smart for the party but staying anyway for the drama.

A sharp-tongued, synth-driven exploration of social status and the anxiety of being young.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, rhythmic intake of breath before the first chorus of Cooler Than Me
The way the synth line in Red Button mimics the frantic ticking of a clock
The dry, isolated vocal delivery on Drug Dealer Girl that feels like a whispered secret
