This
would be my second time listening to something from Emerald Cocoon and it is
another record from the Alone Together series.
A quick internet search taught me that Yek Koo is a one woman show and
she has not only performed with Ashley Paul (My first Emerald Cocoon review)
but that she is also one half of Metal Rouge (forthcoming Emerald Cocoon
reviews for me).
Music
is my drug. Music is my gateway drug as
well. I don’t know what else (if
anything does even exist) could be so powerful as to send you spinning off in
so many different directions after experiencing it. All of the music I listen to (I believe) is
connected somehow because it’s like this artist shares this label with this
other artist and so on, but yeah, how anyone cannot become just fully engrossed
in music is beyond me.
The
first of these two songs has synth riffs and reminds me of Delta Dart right off
the bat. The vocals are layered and it
just somehow makes it better. It is a more traditionally composed piece, but
is still not really pop. On some levels
it could be considered haunting and the drums are rocking.
“Flame
Creation” follows this as a less traditional song than “Oh Woman”, as it is closer
to noise on many levels. Specifically,
I just love this song because it is percussion heavy and I’ve always felt that
with so many different choices for instruments within that range of percussion
you could create an entire piece of music around just them.
Is it
now my goal to also listen to everything Yek Koo has ever done? Absolutely.
And that perhaps is the best reason why you should be listening to this
one as well.
