Coon
Coon is a loosely assembled bunch. Norwegian brothers Jørund and Eirik took the lead in writing and producing the debut album 'The Art of Mishearing' but some tracks are co-written by others. On top of that several indispensable musicians and vocalists have played an important part of the making of the album. Chill out? Down tempo electronica? Bass-focused digicoustic tracks colored by house, bossa nova, trip/hip-hop, jazz, grunge and funk? And hopefully a sufficient amount of unpretentiousness. The Art of Mishearing is a collection of tracks originating from as far back as 2002, inspiration ranging from the early 90's basslines of the Red Hot Chili Peppers via Fila Brazillias trip hop to old and new South American music. The eclectic representation of musical styles on the album also mimics compilation series like Another Late Night, DJ Kicks etc.
