coccoons press release
cocoons are hannah peel, coti k, laurance hunt and justin wiggan
“Earling “ is their first release
Hidden from each other, this quartet were sawn together without being aware of each other’s parts and merged together in secret navigating by distancing in the sonic divide cooking a truly magical and exquisite sonic slab beyond words and seriously limited in nature
dinked, dimpled folds of spectral celestial un-worldliness that ought to appeal at first contact with those much loving of the Cocteau’s majesty, This Mortal Coil’s stately solace and Dead Can Dance’s mercurial mastery at blending lost tongues and archaic languages to neo classical settings.
The applying of monastic tongues and a ceremonial reverence gives this mix a sense of the ethereal, reverberating echoes, the rustling percussive ripples, shimmering timbres and ghostly visitations all collide into a spectral fabric, the showers of silvery vibrations shimmer all glowing in intensity, the stratospheric whispers cascading at times like jubilant speckles of euphoria to the lost in the moment hymnal hush of Ms Peel’s murmurs as they breach the ether, its utterly divine though don’t be deceived for where the beguiled frosted timbres of Peel purr much drawing reference to Heather Duby there is the at odds ominous groan of the shadow forming stillness of the brooding soundscapes beneath to usher in an uneasy light to dark balancing act.
Hannah Peel ( vocals) voice of glass, voice of knives, and burns opposed to heavenly creatures and sapient life
Justin wiggan ( electronics and synths) Mammalian surfaces noise and Frost bitten entities
Coti k ( bowed flower pot, double bass and file manipulations) vapour in a Land of no presence like non-human computer writing mythical science
Laurence Hunt ( drums and percussions) Tears graft to human heads and hammer like small bones
mixed by Justin Wiggan

“earling”
Earling:
I Hide History
My External History
Where Railways, rooms , doors merge
Where I Cling tightly to the wall with a secret townspeople fear mosquitoes rising
With female householders with no husband present
My navigation, my search of inhabitants to identify humans distancing the spiritual divide
I the ploughman of the sublunary sphere opposed to heavenly creatures and sapient life
Frost bitten entities rest with the animal kingdom
like non-human computer writing mythical science afraid of anger
everyday experiences continuum of alert and ending with loss
misled and deceived their beliefs are unreliable
voice of glass, voice of knives, voice of frostbite, and burns.
Frost bitten Vertebrates impulsive land animals
Their deafness to abnormalities
Hitting Mammalian surfaces of the drum
skin, skin, thinner skin on the bone of the skull
voice of glass, voice of knives, voice of frostbite, and burns.
Tears graft to human heads and hammer like small bones
Feet push out the window to the sky
Frost bitten hard bone fluid
Frost bitten sound strikes the drum
voice of glass, voice of knives, voice of frostbite, and burns.
Frost bitten they jeopardize the air
voice of glass, voice of knives, voice of frostbite, and burns.
my trauma - a dead shedding of surgical insects and drums
voice of glass, voice of knives, voice of frostbite, and burns.
voice of glass, voice of knives, voice of frostbite, and burns.
I am hindering
I am preventing growth
I am the wilting point
I am vapour in a Land of no presence
I evaporate the universal agreement
My ears permanently locked in snow and ice
I hear rain shadows of major mountains
I have greater demands
