cof cof: third.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listen up. I have an extremely important announcement--we have to make Cof Cof famous immediately. The Spanish duo recently revealed that they are actually a trio, and their third member is being held captive until the world recognizes how awesome they are. The "third" is kept in a dark room slaving away to create the hot jams that Ana and Alex take credit for.

This is the premise of "Third", the latest track by Valencia's electro darlings. The song doesn't evoke the carefree summer sound of "Forbidden Cocktail" or "Caribbean Boy", but releasing a song like that in the middle of winter would be totally depressing. However, the sounds aren't drastically different from anything you'd hear on Who Said Party?, and the theme reflects their consistent sense of humor and quirkiness.

When I was working on the short-lived Audience Critic blog (bringing it back in '09!), I attended Cof Cof's show at Lit Lounge with the intention of writing a critique of their audience. I even took notes on a napkin, and if I will write that damn piece if I ever find said napkin. Why am I bringing this up? Well, even if I was paying a lot of attention to the audience, I did happen to notice that Cof Cof were the two cutest people on this entire planet. For that reason, I wish them fame and glory. And if they achieve it, I am going to be shocked as fuck when I discover their whole "joke" about a third member wasn't a joke at all...

"How could you not love a band that lists 'BEER BEFORE MAKING MUSIC' under 'Influences' on their MySpace?"--Kate Richardson of Idolator

I mean, really? How can anyone not love Cof Cof? "Forbidden Cocktail" is like the less annoying version of every song about drinking that frat boys and "Ashleys" sing along to at bars. It's a little bit CSS, maybe even a little Cibo Matto. And it gets EVEN BETTER.

Cof Cof's 8-song debut, Who Said Party?, is now available as a free download through their page on the space. Not downloading this would be like missing the free ice cream cone day at your local ice cream shoppe. Except Cof Cof won't even make you fat, because there aren't any calories in music. In fact, regularly dancing to these songs will aid in moving towards that perfect swimsuit body you've been dreaming about.
