6/26/25.

Ora Cogan (British Columbia) "summons orchestral waves of violins and rolling psychedelic guitars, propelled forward by a voice that sweeps audiences away under a tsunami of blissful sonic complexity."

What this means to me is that she sounds like a cross between Vashti Bunyan, Hectorine and Weyes Blood. I would also state that there is a more ethereal sound than any of the three artists mentioned.

Lori Goldston, who served as the touring cellist for Nirvana back in 1993-94 plays cello here. Additionally there is violin, harp, and every once in a while drums that can propel a song out of its dreamlike state.

This 7" was released through Prism Tongue Records.

Nonstop needle drop: the balmy, mirage-hazed trek of Ora Cogan's "Cowgirl" from her 2023 record, Formless. Earthen and yet extraterrestrial. If Wednesday's Rat Saw God happens where backroads swallow headlights, Formless takes place in its daylit counterpart, in a sun-blinded field shimmering with a golden mystique, underpinned by a sense of foreboding you can't quite shake. A horror film that happens in broad day, a'la Midsommar. Outlaw guitar shimmers against the restless warble of Cogan's voice, a hallucinatory combo that feels like squinting into a late afternoon glare, beams unforgiving and shivering with gnats as Cogan sings, "I saw the wasteland moving towards me." For fans of Mitski's The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, Mazzy Star's Among My Swan, and Aldous Harding's Party.
