SXSW Preview - Cocoon

Once upon a time, two really talented, really really attractive French singer/songwriters got together to form the "folksy White Stripes" (although in my opinion they sound more like a - dare I say it? - more melodic version of Beach House. Don't hate). Cocoon as a band make me giddy; their music is very whimsical and voices just so sweet. They make me happy for flowers and honey & homies and you know, stuff like that.




Keep in mind though, these guys are the French band called Cocoon. As in, the one that will be showcased at SXSW. I say this because right around the same time French Cocoon was formed, a Rock/A'cappella/Ambient band by the same name was also formed. This one was based in Philly, and they decided their primary band image would involve sweaty backs with mild-at-best politcal discourse etched into them.


It's alright, brother. Don't arrest bicyclists. They are good for the Earth, we know.

Anyway, uber cute video for the sweet melody "Chupee" by the French band, followed by their SX sched:
