Coda


Are you thinking of eclectic, mesmeric compositions with more instruments than you can name on one recording? Instrumental, of course. That's the Coda formula. When it comes to describing something so effortless it seems rather pointless - I guess this is something that can be appreciated by anyone with a broad enough mind. Elements of post-rock, classical, reggae, electronica and theatrics are combined by these talented people into entire moments of pure aural excitement. This is truly something to bask in and to savour.

So many people tend to lump Coda into some sort of "world" music section, when really, world music is everything once you consider the etymology of the word. A treat for both the eyes and the ears, the artwork adorning each of their releases is enchanting and entirely fitting of such music.

Listen:
Coda - Marine (Calling Mission Mu)
Coda - Giraffe Girl (For Our Animal Friends)

On Vitamin Records. Buy.
