Parov Stelar Coco

"Coco" finally available on double vinyl for the first time. With his unmistakable sound-mix of Jazz and Swing samples and electronic music, Parov Stelar has secured his own unique position in the world of music. The double vinyl starts off where his former successful LP’s ended. On the other hand he is consequently developing his established jazzy sound, by adding new stylistic elements to his tunes.

Also his dancefloor-productions, which have been published only as singles, now find a debut to a greater extent on this album. They meet with Stelar’s melancholic-melodious trademark-sound, which is well known from his earlier albums, but now also spiced up with Hip-Hop beats and synthpads. An electrifying album to fall for.

The two vinyls are originally thought of as one with tracks that can be danced to and one with tracks just for listening. Nevertheless the line between those two approaches becomes blurred in Parov Stelar’s newer compositions. The album makes your feet tap more and more with every track. The musician himself sees the LP as a “book for musical readers” which is classically defined in introduction, middle part and end. Because of streaming hit singles the consumer behaviour changed, people don’t listen to albums the same way they used to. The whole experience that includes refelecting on less prominent tracks somehow got lost. Parov Stelar sets “Coco” as a statement against this habit.
