THE KOKOON

We didn' go/EP

09.02.2009

Their first LP "erase" released in 2004 is all about tunnels and the feelings and stories you could imagine by that. You enter a tunnel by car for example and you know there may be only one exit. You don't know what will come when you leave the tunnel but it definitely will happen. It's claustrophobic and exciting at the same time and there's no choice really - you have to move forward, in the stream of the others - but there's quiet a bit of space for little stories in the meanwhile…-"The Kokoon learned lessons somewhere between New Wave and being European and combined them into something wholly likable AND intelligent. Simply put, this album is good..." (Jonathan Novak 8/04 USA) The LP is available at all leading download stores.

THE KOKOON's new EP is headlined by the title giving song "We didn't go" ("the world's only new wave drinking song" - Shannon Coulter/magnatune) taken from the LP "Berlin". The EP features three more exclusive tracks written and recorded at the same time "Berlin" was made with the same emotions and feel. It is meant to be more than a single filled with B-sides but showing all concerns of the LP in a compressed shape of four pieces of music. The EP is available at all leading download stores.

THE KOKOON's latest LP "Berlin" is an ironic musical diary about city life style including all ups and downs, hopes and fears, being pushed or exhausted - sometimes both at the same time - and also being sick of it all. But there's always a smile remaining and the certainty that life doesn't care how you feel - it just goes on…
The idea of a musical reflection about the modern way of life in big cities grew up during their London time in 04-05 just after the debut release "erase". The songwriting took shape there and was finally recorded during 06-07 in Berlin.
