Kuko De Kobra en découverte sur LRdR avec le titre Alligator Heartbeat

Kuko De Kobra releases 4th album ”Underdog Chorus” on 22nd of November 2022 In august 2020 Kuko De Kobra released their third album in the middle of a pandemic. A month or so later guitarist Martin J. Andersen left the band to focus on his other musical endeavours. This left John Sharling – main songwriter, bassist and vocalist – more or less alone. Not the best situation for a struggling artist. However, after a couple of months Sharling decided that Kuko De Kobra would continue more or less as it had begun in 2010 - a studio project. Sharling explains: ”Up until that point I had used a lot of money recording in professional studios and I needed to at least try a different approach. So I had drummer/mixer Ivan Mirkovic record drums in Serbia and did the rest of the work at home on my trusty iPad and a beat up microphone. I am by no means a technician nor really a producer - but It was a wonderful learning experience to be on my own. I also found a new kind of freedom in not being able to ”fix” every little thing. I am now better at tolerating my vocal and instrumental imperfections. I gave the songs all I had and consider them stripped down and charming” The result ”Underdog Chorus” consists of 13 songs clocking in at just under 39 minutes in all. A few of the songs – like the album - are rather short. Sharling continues: ”I have always had irrational worries about certain numbers, a kind of mild OCD. In the past I would not allow there to be 13 tracks on an album, I did not want a proper song to last under two minuters and albums should always be over 40 minutes in lenght. It was about time to confront these issues head on.” ”Underdog Chorus” is mostly a power pop album with a few excursions into heavier and/or stranger territories. Among the poppier songs are the singles ”Where I’m Going”, a great album opener with infectious energy and a positive vibes and ”Summer In Pieces” where the listener will find sixties pop merging with an alternative rock sound circa 1993. The heavier side is represented by midtempo stomper ”Good (The Goldberg Complications)” and the semi-noise rock of ”Yes, This Is Going To Hurt”. And here are the final words from Sharling for now: ”Of course it is nerve-racking to release something I did more or less myself. But luckily I also have the 5th Kuko De Kobra album - produced by the wonderful Marco Angioni - more or less ready to go. So I don’t have time to be nervous. I am happy that there is absolutely no shortage of rock music coming from Kuko De Kobra in the near future.”
