Los Angeles artist Coffin Prick, recently announced his new album, Loose Enchantment, will arrive on April 4, 2025 via Temporal Drift. Loose Enchantment, was conceived of in a different frame of mind for humans living in a world nearly-disenchanted with itself. The album’s eleven tracks were recorded by Coffin Prick himself at his home in Los Angeles.

Coffin Prick primarily records on his own, though occasionally receives great collaborative assistance from a sometimes-silent and shadowy partner, Pancho. When the time is right, he leans on a host of harmonically sympathetic luminaries that exist in and out of his immediate musical community. These musical endeavors implement elements of the technologically advanced and the undeniably broken.

On the heels of 2023’s Laughing (Sophomore Lounge), Coffin Prick got busy. And fast. Playing shows into the year with a newly minted live band, while simultaneously working day and night in his home studio laying the ground for what would become Loose Enchantment. Whereas he was essentially a recording know-nothing at the inception of his last LP, he’d learned a thing or two about better capturing his ideas by this point, taking the sidesteps and victories born of the experience Laughing provided and turning the bright lights on them. As many of Los Angeles’s drivers choose to do, it was time to take some surface roads. Odes to self-delusion, the mysteries of creation, cleanliness, and the secrets in other people’s lives.

Ryan Weinstein gives more context for the song:

“This is one of the first tunes written when this record began to take shape as a collection that made some sort of sense as a whole. Recorded by my lonesome here in the ever quixotic city of Los Angeles, the song’s meaning to me is as allusive as most of the ideas that drift in and out of my mind. They come, they go. And sometimes they stick around long enough to crystallize into something worth remembering. The best of those that do end up in some form or another on my records. “Loose Enchantment” is an allusion to the modern (mis)communication and the allure of locale. Palm trees and likes, the crashing waves of intentionally and unintentionally missed connections. In the name of Love…and otherwise. We’ve all got to hang loose when we’re out on a ledge.”
