RELEASE DATE: FRIDAY 13th October 

A hop, skip and a jump down the rabbit hole into alternative singer-songwriter Phoebe Coco’s ecological EP to sing in the trees and dance on a moon-plane.

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.

(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes)

I could be the yes man, Jim Carey
I can be whoever you want, want
I’ll let you be the captain
Pick out what we watch
Pick out what we watch
Pick out what we wanna do
What do you wanna do?
It’s always up to you
I don’t have my own personality, not a scratch on me
If I had a choice, I wouldn’t compute

Yes
Say yes
Say yes
Say yes
