Kahnin’s “Go Kart” is a refreshing, cheeky, and upbeat track that celebrates the beauty of the little things in life. It’s sound immediately had me nostalgic for all the minutia, all the tiny things that I do and have done which make me just lighten up. There’s a distinctively 90s energy to it as well, an innate nostalgia that its able to bring out. There’s something ever so playful in its sincerity, a passion that’s simple and fun all at once.
Drawing inspiration from the cut-up technique, the song’s lyrics convey a sense of youthful joy and optimism that feels especially poignant in today’s world. The song’s catchy intro riff sets the tone for the rest of the track, which is filled with groovy guitar riffs, playful synths, and energetic beats. As the song progresses, it builds into this delightfully infectious chorus that will have you singing along in no time.
Kahnin’s brand of more grounded folk is fresh, fun, and flavourful.
