Coma Cinema - Baby Prayers (2009)



/DIY, Chamber pop, Alternative pop, Singer-songwriter, Experimental indie, Lo-fi/


Comment: this is the debut album by Mat Cothran aka Coma Cinema involving 14 tracks just spreaded out over 27 minutes. It contains exclusively demo staples recorded between 2005 and 2009. Indeed, the album provides lots of hints at Cothran`s further DIY aesthetics tightly dabbled with electronic undercurrents and curious elements of singer-songwriter-ism and baroque pop-esque sweeps. More profoundly, it is elegantly rough due to its lo-fi guitar fingerpicking which is interlaced with compelling orchestrations, droning synths and dreamy vocal lines. In the first place his aesthetics reminds of Mark Linkous aka Sparklehorse.
