Cof Cof - Spanish Fusion


My apologies for the delay in posting. I've had it written for weeks, but I've been busy with a variety of other tasks. However, with those issues being resolved I am proud to bring you Cof Cof.

Cof Cof is the Spanish duo of ANA ANALÓGICA(Guitar, Bass, Lead Vocals), and ÁLEX CUADRADO (Knob Twister, Drum Robots, and Backup Vocals). Their sound is a dystopic union of Vampire Weekend and Bonde Do Role. From that tension comes an amazing fusion of modern Indy rock, and 8-bit party music. Each song has a distinct combination of stylistic elements that nestle up besides each other, like a tile mosaic made from divergent pieces of marble. The results are captivating, unique, and groovable.

Check out:
Cof Cof - Dirty Tricks (via Zshare)-
In this song the forces that shape Cof Cof combine into a fascinating song about dysfunctional love. The robotic forces form a background that is electro ala Goldfrapp, while the guitar forces strum in with a wicked guitar lick that hooks your soul immediately.

Cof Cof - Caribbean boy (via Zshare)-
In this song the Guitar takes center stage, forming a light airy hook along which the rest of the piece progresses. An added Xylophone and Clap line makes this song great for any summer party and/or barbeque.


You can get the entire EP Who Said Party? here. My favorite track off the album is Forbidden Cocktail.

Best,
DJB
