COCO HAMES

There's an old saying about how "you have your whole life to write
your first record." For Coco Hames, the songs on her stunning
self-titled debut poured from her pen over a sustained burst of
inspiration.but they took more than a decade to live out. A deeply
personal record filled with poignant ruminations on love lost and
found, dreams dashed then rediscovered, these ten songs manage to
pinpoint exquisite light amid life's darkness.
As the frontwoman and indomitable force behind beloved garage-pop
combo The Ettes, Hames blazed a memorable trail across the '00s
underground. Last summer, she began work on her solo album at The
Bomb Shelter in Nashville. "It was this massive leap of faith for me,"
she admits. "After being in a band for so long, this time I was on my
own-no gang to hide behind or fall back on." Hames co-produced
the record with Andrija Tokic, who'd helped sire career-making albums
for Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and others
