A life affirming song for the 21st century - for anyone who feels in between...in between culture, religion, race or sexuality.

Imagine The Beatles meet 70s Pink Floyd with a cosmic spaced out vibe.

Twilight Child

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. 



‘Phoebe Coco has just the thing’
Tom Robinson- BBC 6 Music

Effortlessly compelling.
Adam Watson BBC Introducing Wales 


‘Feels like a dark fairytale…’
Sarah Gosling 
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.

Vestige

A clatter of frantic beats rides over a dark, rebellious undertow of harsh bass and protesting vocals.

Future Sings

We find ourselves submerged beneath a derelict central Berlin building occupied by artists and anarchists. It is flooded with heavy electronic noise, smoke, damp stale air, and unfettered indifference.

The individual creating the noise is not visible, all we see are the loudspeakers behind a barrier. The performer becomes utterly irrelevant, and I decide the sound might as well be coming from a swollen tomato. 

As the noise reaches its peak, bouncing off the dirty brick basement walls, I feel compelled to shout back in response. A German lady asks if I am part of the performance, and I tell her that we all are.

Fraudster & Sion - The Bug (Radio Edit)

Leavin' Liverpool

I guess it ain't over until the poet speaks...

I thought I was done with music for 2023. 

But London Poet TheNarratorSpeaks sent me his vocals for my song We Was Once and I simply had to finish it for Christmas.

We Was Once explores the theme of a parent's love and wisdom for their child. The song is based on a poem written by TheNarratorSpeaks, who delivers the poem with his distinctive voice and style making the words resonate with the listener whether a parent or child.

The song is a powerful and moving tribute to the bond between a parent and a child, and the lessons that are passed on from one generation to the next. 

The song will be released on December 18th and will be available on all major streaming platforms, the video is out now.

We Was Once Ft TheNarratorSpeaks

Shaggy - Hey Sexy Lady (Remix)

Strung out on an unhealthy diet of hyperpop, angular punk, dub and various forms of bass music, transatlantic duo Strange Flesh craft fractured pop music out of drums, grubby synths, animal calls and the myriad horrors of human life.

Play the Sax a bit. I really like to get up and dance.
