02 This Song Used To Be About You Kississippi

All The Time

Swedish boutique music label ICEA adopted the Positano natives to polish their dream-pop soundscapes. Listeners were introduced to Emmecosta’s music at the end of 2016 and the dawn of 2017 with the tracks “His Power of Youth” and “Miguel”. The synths, punctuated guitar and silky vocals evoke memories of Phoenix circa 2004. The remaining two tracks, “Heavy Heart” and “A Mountain From Us” blend pulsing waves of synths and echoing vocals, mirroring Snakadaktal’s Sleep in the Water (2013). 

In many ways, Emmecosta communicate intoxicating atmospheres with their dream-pop, reminiscent of Washed Out, where the muffled vocals paint the landscape and guide the listener to melt into nature. The music videos for “Miguel” and “His Power of Youth” were filmed in seaside Positano and Scandinavian forests, complementing the music and the story of the band. Emmecosta says, “There is a hidden romantic darkness in the actual story, which represents the band’s melancholy in relation to their hometown in Italy, and what it was been like to immigrate to Sweden. There is a craving for home, yet acceptance of new belonging.” 

Stereogum and Clash Magazine have both praised the band for their “blissed out electronics with a liquid feel” more accurately than their self-proclaimed “post-club tropical indie soul” - a description that raises eyebrows, but enhances a sense of self-awareness in the calming hours after a party, before bed.  Emmecosta dedicates their music ideas to time and place - living in the moment, while feeling split between their lives in Italy and Sweden. The result is a sound that feels comfortable and contemplative.   

"’Velour’ is the feeling of unshakable longing for a place we’ve never been. This is a specific form of wanderlust – a craving for a distant land or a deep feeling of ‘homesickness’ for a place we have never seen. We imagine distant places through small fragments: everyday life seen elsewhere. We are going through a strange sensation of disorientation, something magical seen from far away. We fall in love with this fragment. It holds the promise for more. We move around it.” - Emmecosta

Velour EP

A Mountain From Us

Emmecosta - A Mountain From Us

I'll wait it out in an Oakland motel
Say it out loud, it helps
With a girl you don't know well at all
I think this all may blow over
We say it drunk and think it sober a lot

I breath in ocean air until my nose bleeds
Countless texts go unread to spite your shit for brains logic
Cold beer and nicotine

I could stand to make a mecca of my home state
A place I'm clean, don't worry
It draws out words like I'm sorry
Fix me like you used to
Something rye and angostura bitters make the heart grow fonder
I say things I think no longer

Angostura

I hung up your picture, Annabelle
Left a dozen roses in your mail
You say that you’re afraid
To date someone my age
It’s a month or two behind
You really shouldn’t mind
There’s no need for a reason
You can end this love if you want to

Cause Annabelle I want you to know
If things are blurry you can walk out the door
Cause I would die and go to hell to save this love, Annabelle

I called up your number, Annabelle
What did you say? I couldn’t tell
Your tone of voice was rude
It seemed to be untrue
Well, maybe I was wrong
For singing to your song
There’s no need for a reason
You can end this love if you want to

Cause Annabelle I want you to know
If things are blurry you can walk out the door
Cause I would die and go to hell to save this love, Annabelle

Get Away

got a volca beats and decided to remake this old tune

talking (version 2)

eyes in the sun by florist

I don't want to set the world on fire.

a poem i turned into a lil song :3
*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••̩̩͙⊰•**
you're the sunshine in my morning.
the reason i'm falling asleep.
and if i wasn't hurting, you'd be the only person i see.
i hear other things people don't hear.
because they have sound.
and i have eyes.

i wish people would look at me the way they look at you,
i wish people would talk to me the way they talk to you

but i only have eyes, and ears
i'm a vessel not wanting to be hear.
i have lungs and veins.
there's only a few people in this world that make me feel sane.
i only have skin and teeth.
words slip through cracks like lying in sheets.

i got wounds that haven't healed. 
i'm so fucked up i have nowhere to go.
i've got scars in my brain

i wish people would look at me the way they look at you,
i wish people would talk to me the way they talk to you

all i've got are my body parts to hold me together.
inside it's hard to see things clear,
when you never get better.

i've only got...
eyes
lungs and veins
teeth.

eyes, lungs and veins. teeth 
(lips, mouth, tongue, veins, blood, brains, love hurts, want more)

skin and bone may break my bones, but it'll never hurt me no more..

my body is a vessel

my kind of woman

dumb asf.
