They say it’s better to give than receive, so I’m going to give every talent hungry label rep out there a little belated holiday sugar. There’s amazing band in Bothell called Cock and Swan (also releasing fabulous shit under the moniker Dandelion Gold) and if you’re looking for something that will appeal to shoegazers, audiophiles, technogeeks, stoners and indie kids alike you gotta sign this band! Married duo, Johnny and Ola churn out warm, sweet, ambient tunes with production that captures the organic nature of their musical process, while attaining a technical perfection that never seems forced or overdone. They’re latest, Marshmallow Sunset, sounds exactly like it’s title and is currently available online, but set for hard release soon and it’s just as great as their newly reissued 2006 EP Noon Hum. A&R peeps, youre welcome in advance! With Corridor and A Pack of Wolves. MACHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
Listen to a sample of Cock and Swan’s “Morning’s Window.”
