Coco '2' is out March 1, 2024 on First City Artists
Cocoâthe project of Maia Friedman (Dirty Projectors), Oliver Hill (Pavo Pavo), and Dan Molad (Lucius)âbegan as an experiment of sorts; three friends writing songs for nothing other than the ritual of doing so. Their self-titled debut was praised as âgorgeous, warmly wistful⌠a balmy, liberating grooveâ (Gorilla Vs. Bear), âbold, striking, but emphatically subdued, the dreamy pop aspect seem to be filtered in from another dimension,â (CLASH), âunerringly intimateâ (The Line of Best Fit), and âjust heavenâ (BBC). The new albumâstarkly titled '2'âis sensuous and spellike, its sonics varying from lush, shoegaze guitars, to dusky electronica, to jangly 60âs pop. Maia, Oliver, and Dan continue their sacred practiceâarriving to each other empty-handed and open-hearted, finding power in three equal parts.
