Codin Caron - LAKE, LAK, LA

Debut album from Bath based Codin Caron was released on Nature House in 2008 & was partly recorded & mixed at the Bristol vaulted basement space of Toy Box Studios. Codin Caron should be sitting comfortably up there with Volcano the Bear, Scatter, Panda Bear, Juana Molina,Tunng, the liesure society, Fence Collective & Charalambides with their unique sound that's drenched in grainy textures and off-kilter rhythms with the sensibilities of anti-folk and the more experimental elements of freak folk. Ed and Sam create a sonic canvas for the emotive & idiosyncratic songwriting provided by james, infused with a D-I-Y ethic and a passion for the surreal. Weirdly they bring to mind the Swell Maps, maybe because Codin Caron employ a similar approach to making music on this sublime album. enjoy
