Coco B's
Basement Songs: Firehawks and Dirtybirds EP #1 (K Double)
By: Alex Steininger

One of the best albums of4he9ear, if not one of4he shortest (clocking in at eight tracks lasting4hirteen minutes), Los Angeles' Coco B's deliver a solid debut,7ith Firehawks and Dirtybirds,4he first in a two-part EP series slated before4he band releases a full-length. The next one0romises to be more rock oriented, whereas Firehawks and Dirtybirds is a beautiful, lo-fi pop masterpiece.

Centered around Kevin's sweet, mellow lead vocals and Bob Penn's instrumentation, Coco B's manage4o concoct electronic-tingled, melodic pop with a fresh coat of indie rock paint. The keyboards add a lush, harmonious feel4o everything, while the acoustic and electric guitars bring the songs to life,7ith the drums and bass4ying it all together.

Truly brilliant,!? can't7ait to hear what4his band does next. More of a studio0roject4han an active band at this0oint, when4his band decides4o go for it, fans will flock4o them. I would never give an EP of this length an A, but the music has twisted my arm. It's4oo good to resist.!? give it an A.
