Music Friyay: Coco, Nick Nicely, Garbage
By Joanna C. Valente
Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:
Coco - “Empty Beach”
Mysterious new band, Coco, just released two songs within the last few months. Their dreamy sound definitely makes me want more.
Nick Nicely - Psychotropia
Nicely is the best musician you might have never heard of. HIs music is completely unique and innovative; his first album showcases an experimental, psychedelic artist. The album wasn’t released until 2003, although he had released prior songs in the 70s and 80s.
Garbage - “Thirteen”
Garbage covered the iconic Big Star song and it’s definitely something you won’t want to stop listening to.
