“Moodrings” By Coco

Coco is the project of Maia Friedman (Dirty Projectors), Oliver Hill (Pavo Pavo), and Dan Molad (Lucius), the trio recently shared a new video “Moodrings.” The track is off the group’s forthcoming album, 2, available March 1st via First City Artists. The video, directed by Oliver, features actors that represent “Coco in 2060. May we be so lucky,” says the band. Each actor captures the essence of Coco and the sensuality of the song as they sway and play onstage. “At Montrose Recording in Richmond, the engineer Adrian had an incredible modular synth rig, which we ran Maia’s vocal through to achieve the chopped up ‘femme-bot’ instrumental breaks,” says Oliver. “There was a bit of back and forth about whether to include the bridge, which we ultimately felt earned its place with a dramatic scene change into string-led Philly soul”.

2 was partially recorded in Richmond, Virgina, with Adrian Olsen (Lucy Dacus, Fruit Bats, Bedouine) at Montrose Recording, and in Joshua Tree, California, self-producing in an informal desert setting.
