Coco (Dirty Projectors, Lucius, Pavo Pavo) share new single

“Wildfire season colors the sky every year with a warning: the Onceler is up to his usual tricks and we haven’t a Lorax to speak for the trees. “Omen” is about this annual glimpse into the future – “Heavy hangs the sunshine / Yellow, thick, and unkind.” There’s a double meaning, though, riffing on omens in our personal lives – moments when the writing is on the wall. “Feel a pattern in me / Look away and stand over there / Still I see it everywhere, an omen”
“Musically, we wanted the track to feel on one hand grounded in nature and reality (the guitar, campfire slow dance) and on the other hand alien and futuristic (the arpeggiating bloops and filtering drums). We hope you enjoy the melody!” – Coco on “Omen”
About Coco
They released their stunning, self-titled debut in 2021 on First City Artists, now available for the first time on vinyl via Bandcamp. Championed by tastemakers at NPR, BBC, SiriusXM, and Spotify among others, Coco’s music has been called a lot of things — “gorgeous, warmly wistful” (Gorilla Vs. Bear), “unerringly intimate” (The Line of Best Fit), and “Beautifully enigmatic” (MOJO) — but Lauren Laverne of BBC 6 Music was the most concise in declaring “Oh, it’s just heaven.”
“Beautifully enigmatic pop” — MOJO
“Bold, striking, but emphatically subdued, the dreamy pop
aspect seem to be filtered in from another dimension” — CLASH
“Their music is unerringly intimate and personable, striking
a dreamy sound that is wholly encapsulating” — The Line of Best Fit
“gorgeous, warmly wistful” — Gorilla Vs. Bear
“a beautifully rich and soaring sonic delight from start to finish” —
