Koko Blue is Koko Bonaparte (Interstllr) and Evan Gordon (The Magic, Islands). Koko and Evan grew up together in the golden age of indie and punk rock in Guelph, Ontario.

The minimalist production of "Crosses and Planks" is about that; it’s about skipping school to write songs, playing rock shows in church basements, 4-track recording, and paying homage to anti-heroes like Will Oldham, Sebadoh, and Lou Reed.

This music is a tribute to Jim Guthrie's idea​ that "Home is where the rock is." It was recorded in an apartment in Parkdale, Toronto, this past summer, at 100 degrees. To catch the soul of the songs, they were taped straight through, with no cutting and pasting, no punching in, no click.

“These songs were not originally written to be recorded. I wrote them to help understand hard things, and I sang them to myself and to close friends. Some are love letters I needed to write, but never thought I'd send​.

The only way to do this was the original Guelph way: with the most immediate and cheapest setup, and by playing hard and trying to disappear in the words and in the racket of guitar.” - KB
