Ever since Cof Cof randomly added me as friends on MySpace I've been strangely attracted to their completely off the wall brand of music. Somehow emanating the same lewd international charm we encountered from CSS, Cof Cof make fun electro-indie which laughs in the face of common musical conventions. It's obvious that they show little consideration for the whole deep emotions: love, life and the universe shebang, as instead Cof Cof opt for writing about everything from cell phones to forbidden cocktails. This irrelevant sense of nuttiness strangely translates into very human sounding songs in which the duo bring such mundane items as computers and mobile phones into a wild and wonderful musical context, with the end result being oddly successful. The accent-heavy vocals of singer Ana may not necessarily always be in tune as she sings over a wide array of different electronic bleeps, blips and guitar strings, yet you somehow forgive this fact as you realise that this really is just the sound of two Spanish friends having fun, with this sense of complete and utter abandon giving Cof Cof their appeal. There is a definite gap in the musical world for some wacky international imports and Cof Cof seem like the duo to fill it.
Cof Cof / My HDD Is Broken
This is the song that originally got me hooked on Cof Cof. It can only be described as a barmy ode to our love of technology and the horrors we face when it all goes to shite. Utterly pointless but completely true, this is the sound of a band on the edge of madness and the forefront of amazing.
