heprcam - cohcox
album: cohcox
year: 2004
artist: heprcam
summary and olive's take:
cohcox is the only release from elusive japanese three piece group heprcam (mihoyo tsubokura on vocals, junichi haruki on percussion, and tatsuya koda on bass). the band specialized in a self-described "inorganic sound" while embracing a certain warmth - gently weaving electronic samples and tsubokura's ethereal vocals into a comforting, glowing tapestry of ambient music. inorganic is balanced with soft organic noise: water is recurrent theme in the album - you'll often hear the ebbing sounds of of water trickling or flowing between tracks, creating a sense of calm and "floatiness". abstract and hypnotic, a great hidden gem. miraculously, their 2004 website still stands here. enjoy!
