You know what your doing, yes with your life

Clear Eyes is a piece of musical affirmation, a song of encouragement to embrace life in the present, beginning with one's own reflection, while in conversation with the lingering ‘shadows on the shore’. A wider theme emerges in the song's chorus to speak of embracing our natural world while looking into changing landscapes. Environmental themes are ongoing within Phoebe Coco’s music; Clear Eyes has been performed live in a plethora of environments, from climate protests, joining the likes of Massive Attack on the line up on the Extinction Rebellion stage, to stripped back, acapella under the trees to intimate audiences at ‘The Urban Tree Festival’ marking the opening of Phoebe Coco’s musical installation ‘Tree Song Tree Trail’. Natural themes are further reflected in the music video made by award winning director Katya Ganfeld as Phoebe Coco dances deep, enchanted, in the natural landscape. 

Clear Eyes is a new sonic direction for Phoebe Coco, who’s vocals have been likened to Anna Calvi by Radio X’s Sarah Gosling, as she sings the song within into a textural world underpinned by minimalist piano amongst growling bass synths and cello with mellifluous saxophone, flute and electronica involving a host of London's finest musicians. Phoebe Coco’s acapella project has been has been described as ‘haunting and beautiful’ by Robert Macfarlane (BBC 4 Front Row), and includes Phoebe Coco’s family,  her mother and sisters Sophie Wright, Dorothy Wright-Spinks, and Grace Wright-Spinks, who sing the harmonies on the track while Thomas Broda best known for his work with Dana Gavanski plays percussion, and Izz Karpel on saxophone, who plays on the London new jazz scene with emerging bands such as ALULA. 

Clear Eyes has been co-produced by Phoebe Coco and multi-grammy award winning Eduardo De La Paz and mastered by 2022 Mastering Engineer of the year Kevin Tuffy and is the first single in the lead up to Phoebe Coco’s forthcoming EP. 

Phoebe Coco released her debut album ‘My White Horse & I’ in 2020, receiving high critical acclaim and has been played from 6 Music to Radio 2. She is currently studying a music master’s at Goldsmiths university, while continuing her work as a composer scoring for film and live performance. In 2022 she created a musical tree walk titled ‘Tree Song’ across London boroughs, elements of which will feature in the release of the EP as a whole.

London artist and composer Phoebe Coco sets forth with a highly anticipated new EP release I Am Not a Machine this coming October the 13th, with a release show on the same date at Saint Pancras Old Church. 

Born in the rolling hills of The Bannue* and growing up in London, Phoebe Coco seeks living contradictions, the wilderness within the city; the forest within London’s walls. These themes are interwoven in her music, in lilting lyrics and layered landscapes of organic and electronic instrumentation, in a quest to marry the two worlds- the natural and the urban. 


Raised within a singing matriarchy of grandmothers, mothers and sisters, Phoebe Coco experienced live music from an early age. Songs were sung in all settings, from kitchen tables to bohemian parties. Now, on occasion, she invites her family on stage, who sing with her in ‘blood harmonies’- a phrase coined to describe the uncanny, specific and unusual sound of close relations singing together. These unique blood harmonies can be heard throughout the EP. 

As a community and ecological activist, environmental themes are at the foreground of I Am Not a Machine. Phoebe Coco’s writings and performances with trees have been aired by renowned nature author Robert Macfarlane on BBC 4’s Front Row. For the award-winning Urban Tree Festival, she created a project called Tree Song in which she composed, arranged and recorded a series of acapella, folk inspired songs to create a site-specific installation. Elements of this folk heritage are present in her single Machine: ‘ We are singing in a tree, connection fails, try again with your feet’. In an age of expansive development Phoebe Coco sought to “encourage us all to slow down, listen and reflect on how the old ways can meet the new.”


The EP was primarily recorded in Abbey Road and Tostada studios and was co-produced by Phoebe Coco and three times grammy award winning producer Eduardo De La Paz.
The music spans genres, in some places reminiscent of Bat for Lashes and other times Weyes Blood and Kate Bush. This translates live into a seven piece family band, featuring a selection of London's finest players in an amalgamation of complex vocal harmonies, rippling piano, soaring synthesisers, flute, saxophone, guitar and drums. Expect the full works from the full band on the Friday on the 13th October Launch Show. 

Nature also prevails in Phoebe Coco’s acclaimed debut album My White Horse & I (2020), which was championed by Tom Robinson and also achieved local, national and global radio play from BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 2.  She has played stages far and wide, from Shambala Festival to Iceland Airwaves to Sofar Sounds and is well known on the London music scene, with recent shows including well-loved music venues The Old Blue Last, The Sebrite and Peckham Audio.

Out on Sharp Attack records on Friday the 6th of December

The night sky is thinning, into daytime 
I see a faint moon still slightly glowing 
My head is still spinning, from here I see at least four empty bottles of wine 
But I’m feeling more or less fine I guess 

Take a pull of a morning cigarette, live life strong, no regrets 
But alcohol does funny things to my head and my head dictates what gets said so
Think I’ve lost half my things, they’re my belongings
As well as a damn good night's sleep, bags under the eyes, what a surprise

I don't know, I don't know
How to describe last night
Because I don’t really remember much 
The missing link, and too much time to think and now it’s all 

Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 

The night sky is thinning, a violet rise
First birds fly, dawn is showing 
My head is spinning, hear them breath 
Others sleep, dream to dream, while I lie still

I don't know, I don't know
How to describe last night
Because I don’t really remember much 
The missing link, and too much time to think and now its all 

Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 

One sweep of your hand 
All of the colours
Swirl into quicksand
They are washed over 
Time she forgave us 
Just like she promised 
It's been so many years 
I will remember this 


The night sky is thinning, into daytime
My head is spinning

I don't know, I don't know
How to describe that night
Because I don’t really remember much 
The missing link and too much time to think and now it’s all 
Look what the cat dragged in

LOOK WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN

Phoebe Coco’s piano is reminiscent of Phillip Glass and undulates with synth bass, drum machines, harmonicas and shakers with the voices of Phoebe Coco and her sisters textured harmonies lulling us throughout.
 Co-produced by Marc Makarov, Vanessa Anne Redd (of Sharp Attack Records) and Phoebe herself, it has been mixed by multi Grammy award winning Eduardo De La Paz, and mastered by Kevin Tuffy.

Different

'Strangeness led us here...’
 The song came to be through a series of dream like scenes, words and frequencies on the air.  A tapestry of undulating harmonies, hums, Phoebe Coco’s voice and three pianos are woven together co-produced with Marc Makavov and mixed by Grammy Award winning Eduardo De Le Paz.

Strangeness

A slice of dream-pop electronica, a story of passionate lovers and a sea passage take place on a Saturday night. Waves of rolling piano and shimmering siren harmonies surround us as we board into the storm. Phoebe Coco draws us close to see the seascape between the lovers; crashing waves, glimpses of treasure and descending moments of bliss. Featuring the harmonies of her twin sisters, Grace and Dorothy, backed by arpeggiated bass, drum machines, shakers and melodicas it is framed by Phoebe’s signature piano and dreamy vocals.

 Out on the 9th of March on Sharp Attack Records, and also featuring on the anticipated forthcoming debut album from Phoebe Coco, it is co-produced by Phoebe Coco with Marc Makavov and Vanessa Anne Redd and mixed by Grammy Award winning Eduardo De Le Paz.

Saturday Night

Here’s a story, that’s how it goes, 
kids hang out and they fall in love
Playing games, with sticks and stones,
Only holding hands just to feel close


Brick Wall ‘the standout track of the night’ (Beatnik Events) is the next single from Phoebe Coco’s forthcoming debut album. A story narrated by Phoebe Coco’s signature voice and piano, the harmonies of her twin sisters Grace and Dorothy with undulating synth bass, drum machines and shakers, it takes us to the immovable brick wall, the lives of kids growing up and even to swirling psychedelic fields. Out on Sharp Attack Records with a music video on the 5th of June this is a live favourite at Phoebe’s gigs, with an ‘instantly memorable melody’, and is sure to get you singing along, as we too break away from the barrier of the Brick Wall and into a new place altogether. 


 With a live stream gig on the same weekend it’s out on the 5th of June via Sharp Attack Records, co-produced by Phoebe Coco with Marc Makavov and Vanessa Anne Redd and mixed by Grammy Award winning Eduardo De Le Paz.

White Horse

London based Phoebe Coco’s debut single Silver Lives is filled with happy go lucky magic, a seaside world where everyday worries are cast aside. Escaping for a day, captured on 16mm video,  Phoebe is joined by her younger twin sisters, Grace and Dorothy, whose ethereal voices feature on her forthcoming solo debut album. Sisterhood is strong, as the three skip, dance and play to find that gap between the sea and sky.
The song is brimming with electronic and acoustic instrumentation, led by Phoebe’s trademark voice and piano underpinned by light mesmeric “la’s” that will leave you caught in the spell as you find yourself singing along. 

The story of Silver Lives began when composer Phoebe Coco scored a piece of music for the release of Alexa’s Chung’s ARCHIVE clothing range for M&S (the film titled ‘A Day in the Life’ starring Adwoa Aboah).  The next phase of production and writing was done together with Marc Makarov and Vanessa Anne Redd of Sharp Attack Records while producing the rest of Phoebe Coco’s album. The music video was made by Alex F Webb ( who also shot the initial film with photographer Tom Craig) where Phoebe and her sisters are seen wearing the Alexa Chung range, courtesy of Alexa’s Archive. This is a new studio mix of the single, done by multi Grammy award winning Eduardo De La Paz, then mastered in Air at Alchemy studios by Kevin Tuffy and will be coming out with the full studio album ‘My White Horse & I’ in November 2020

Album mix to be released on all platforms on Phoebe Coco's debut album 'My White Horse & I' on the 27th of Nov 2020 on Sharp Attack Records

Wild 

Ask us questions we don’t know 
The answers to 
Because you are speaking tongues 
I don’t know 
And so and so 

We were wild 
For a long time
You let us lie 
Now we are to rise 
So we wind
Spiraling up and down  
Through this plan that we devise 

Not gunna take too long, not gunna not gunna take too long, we promise you
We promise you
Not gunna take too long, not gunna not gunna take too long, we promise you
We promise you

Speak to us in soft tones
We can barely hear you 
Your voices hardly stand near the truth 
We spoke so many times 
Spoke the same lines 
We’re on repeat

A music box we are locked 
As beautiful as it may seem 
A music box we won’t stop 
Caught in the scene of this day dream

We were wild 
For a long time
You let us lie 
Now we are to rise 
So we wind
Spiraling up and down  
Through this plan that we devise 

Not gunna take too long, not gunna not gunna take too long, we promise you
We promise you
Not gunna take too long, not gunna not gunna take too long, we promise you
We promise you

We were wild 
For a long time
You let us lie 
(Now we are to rise) 
So we wind
Spiraling up and down  
Through this plan that we devise 

We were wild 
For a long time
You let us lie 
(Now we are to rise) 
So we wind
Spiraling up and down  
Through this plan that we devise 


Not gunna take too long, not gunna not gunna take too long, we promise you
We promise you
Not gunna take too long, not gunna not gunna take too long, we promise you
We promise you
