New Music CoCo Art returns with Roam for the Holidaze 3 comp.
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 3:46 PM
Much like the previous two editions, number three brings a smattering of mostly (but not entirely) Omaha, Nebr. and Atlanta-based artists, curated by David Matysiak of local acts Hollow Stars and Coyote Bones. Aside from the obvious holiday angle there isn't much of a theme behind this year's collection, other than it being a hodgepodge of artifacts that Matysiak's friends and acquaintances have been working on throughout the year. With such a broad assortment of artists tackling the holiday spirit, it's a bit all over the place, but there's plenty of music here to throw at the holiday highs and lows as the new year approaches. Think of it a greeting card signed by the entire Coco Art collective, near and far.
Standout cuts this year: Hollow Stars' "Ill Omen," Oh Dorian's "Deep," Lotus Plaza's "Christmas In Whosbekistanstanstan" and Icky Blossoms' "Temporary Freakout"
