Cocoon play beautiful folk music, inspired by talented songwriters such as Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens. This duo -a boy and a girl- formed in the city of Clermont-Ferrand two years ago. They make brilliant melancholic songs, in which Morgane and Mark’s voices blend splendidly. From Panda Mountains, their first EP, comes a jewel of folk, full of precious tunes such as Tell me, Hummingbird, On my way and I don’t give a shit. Only online on their Myspace, Chupee is a very nice tale played with ukulele. With their aerial songs, Cocoon can make you reach the stars. // Ondine Benetier & Jo Pickersgill
