On Monday night Ben and I sat down with prolific new-comers Cocoon in the KRUIstudios for another bout of discussion and live performance on Corn-Fed Music. The duo comprised of local concert fixture Ian MacMillian and Zach “Avery” Dowling (a/k/a Goldwater Marmalaid), has already put out a split, an ep, and contributed a new track to a comp all are/were available in some form from Darbolistic Rex. The duo almost has as many releases as live performances. Cocoon has also already grown past its initial ambient drones to bounding synth inter-playing. If something resembling ambient can be playful, Cocoon is doing it. Check out their technically compromised, yet wonderfully executed performance on the Corn-Fed Podcast below.

MacMillian and Downling also offered up their contribution to the massive two-tape DarbolisticRex compilation. You can cop that, guilt free, below. You can also get the full aural experience on Saturday night at Gabe’s. Along with Cocoon’s arpeggiated acrobatics you can also check out LA’s Earn (ex-Deep Jew), Infinite Body(also from LA) and Aseethe side-project Wax Blood.
