"Cof Cof "Who Said Party""


***** (of 5)

We first learned about this band via Myspace. I can’t remember how we first heard about them, but as soon as we wrote them about how much we liked their music, they replied back right away about coming over to NY from Spain to play some shows/parties. So we booked them to play our little party and were instantly blown away with how much fun they were. Their music is simple, yet tons of fun. Fans of CSS, Bonde Do Role, Crystal Castles, and New Young Pony Club will love bouncing around to these songs. Each song is layered in a simple, yet highly danceable rhythm, then topped off with some cynical lyrics about loser boyfriends (“Dirty Tricks”) and partying (“Forbidden Coctail”). Ana and Alex sing in English with a cute accent that adds an adorable touch to their music and keeps the songs completely original. This album is only eight songs long, but each song is a hit single that will keep you satisfied for months on end. - Crashin' In


"T-T-T-T-Tequila"

What a breath of fresh air. This is what happens when you have "beer before making music," as the band themselves say. The bounce of that bass, the chime of the guitar, the synth xylo. What's not to like? It's all about the party, and here, on a not-hot-as-fuck Tuesday, it's the type of thing that makes the day all that much better. I mean, I was already in a good mood today, but this is just pushing me over the edge.

I don't know what to tell you about Cof Cof, other than that they're from Spain and feature a boy and a girl who like to hold hands in their photographs. They bottle up Mediterranean sunshine and squirt it all over the tracks. They capture that late-afternoon Sunday party vibe and compact it into one three-minute song. Honestly, it's exactly what we all need to kick off the summer.

What's even better is that you can download their whole album from their myspace page. I highly recommend checking it out. - Music For Robots


"Cof Cof Makes Me Wanna Bounce Bounce"

I'm listening to Cof Cof while I cough cough. Been a little under the weather.

But that isn't stopping me from wanting to spread some love. This afternoon is the first I've come across Cof Cof. (thanks Jane)

I only wish I could've come across it sooner, thereby letting you all expererience the sheer awesomeness that is this duo from Spain. There's probably not a bad word I could say about this team.

One part slightly Peaches, another part slightly Ladytron. A little bit of Le Tigre. A little bit of disco repetition. Minimalist vocals, 8-bit blips and bloops. These are all things I love. Like really fucking love. And I try my best not to be so cursefilled here, but it warrants it. Thats's how much I'm digging the track Dirty Tricks.

Many of their songs are available for free on their myspace, but I thought I'd hit you up with this anyways.

What say you?

Best news of all? They have 4 dates scheduled in NYC in August. I am so full of joy right now.

"Cof Cof Liven Up Your Summer Playlist"

Your overall opinion on Spanish duo Cof Cof will depend entirely on your tolerance for blippy, tongue-in-cheek dance music. They hover in that often unbearable, sometimes incredibly endearing laptop pop universe, oscillating somewhere between the cleverness and originality of The Blow, the nasty, hedonistic riot that is Gravy Train!!!!, and the sweet charm of Houston's The Mathletes. And their song "Caribbean Boy" is so fun, so downright pleasant, it practically dares you to dislike it.



Actually, "Caribbean Boy" is more like a sonic manifestation of light-hearted fun than an actual song: It has adorable lyrics ("I think I fell in love with someone next to you, and no one in this party can stop me! I think I've drunk too much, but this thing must be love. I'll have another shot. You've done it!"), choppy guitar, and electronic hand claps, and before you know it life is looking up, like one long backyard party with an unlimited supply of cold fruity drinks. Or a shot-for-shot tequila contest.

Side note: How could you not love a band that lists "BEER BEFORE MAKING MUSIC" under "Influences" on their MySpace? - Idolator


"Cof Cof, pass pass"

Put this band on your radar! Valencia, Spain’s Cof Cof sound like the perfect party.

Its hard not to draw similarities to Bonde do Role, Yelle, and Hot Chip with their home made esthetic and perfect collision between electronic and organic. Lead singer, Ana Analogica’s Miss Kitten-esq lyrics and accent ain’t so hard on the ears either.

Purchase more Cof Cof here or scoop their whole album, “Who Said Party?” for free on their myspace! You’ll wish you had payed for it. - Winne Cooper


"p. a. r. t. y."

What time is it? It's time to start picking out some sweet summer jamz. So far, I haven't been just real bowled over with the latest pack of tracks vying for position, but there is one group who is consistently impressing me with hook laden, chorus humming songs, and they don't even have a label. Yet.


Cof Cof have been quickly and surely establishing themselves at the top of my list of bands to watch, if I were so presumptuous as to make such a list, which I pray I never will be. Their lovable brand of Spanish, synthy dance pop is evolving like the aliens in that underrated David Duchovney movie (which one, right?). Their latest release is actually in the form of several new songs at once, compiled with a couple of their older tracks into a pretty damn solid full length debut album entitled Who Said Party?. Leaning more on lead singer Ana Analogica's cute and off kilter voice, the new tracks (almost exclusively in English now) add up to big fun in the same thematic vein as their earlier releases, namely parties and drinking on the surface, thinly vialing analogies of relationships and other typical pop ilk. A lot of the solidity here is also lent by stellar production from instrumentalist and backup vocalist Alex Cuadrado, in which he borrows from everyone from the Teenagers to Michael Jackson with a healthy dose of 8-bit magic. Tracks like Dirty Tricks, a guitar riffing psudo-techno romp, and the titular Who Said Party? are instant classics daring you not to sing along; while Caribbean Boy and Forbidden Cocktail try to stretch the duo successfully, however slightly, stylistically.

The album's playfulness, charm, and infectious dancability helps to negate it's only drawback, which is it's lack of diversity. While every track is distinct, there is a noticeable similarity in some of the sounds, and the general pace of every tune is pretty much the same, with no 'slow number' or any time signature outside of four / fours that I can think of. This however, is all part and partial to making a great dance record, and is in line with other somewhat similar groups like the now (basically) defunct Bonde do Role, where you really aren't expecting any sort of arch or storied experience in lieu of shaking your drunken ass off.

One of the best parts about this record is the fact that it's straight up free at the moment through download. Great album art (by the immensely talented Pi) and all, there's really no way to not use the link below and get yourself some quality muzak. So far as I've been informed there are no plans for a US tour of any kind, though if I could I'd fly them here myself out of sheer curiosity as to what their live show is like, but if you're lucky enough to live in their home town of Valencia, Spain, you can check them out on June 27th at Nasti Valencia. Sounds like a cool place.

My pick for Summer Jam? The track Who Said Party?, which could quite possibly be the Party Ends theme song as well. I didn't want to deny the band the traffic of our myriad readers, so the link below will take you to Cof Cof's Myspace, then click the 'download who said party? here' link to pick up the album. Also, if you happen to speak / read Spanish (unlike myself), you can check out their blog here. - Partyends


"Who Said Party? Valencia, Spain’s Own Cof Cof Wants to Know"

Every so often on this interweb thing you come across a band or artist that confuses you and also seems so right at the same time. Cof Cof, the band/duo from Valencia, Spain, is a good representation of one of those acts. The freeness and quirkiness of Spanish culture, or so we believe (we will see first hand in August), pop right out at you immediately. There is the swirling together of all kinds of musical elements in to one giant musical plate of Paella, Valencia is the birthplace of the National dish.

Cof Cof’s songs are pretty minimalist and dance-y. Not just vocal tracks; stacked blips and lo-fi 8-bit instruments bounce around catchy lines, most of which’s is in Native Spanish, yet there is some English bits inside as well. It is like a Fanta commercial just broke out at a Family BBQ and everyone goes with it. Cof Cof exibits a distinct aesthetic and silly nature that is as fitting for reverence and snobbery as it is for unadulterated Nintendo-laden revelry. Their lead single, My HDD is Broken has a clear sense of humor, with it’s vague analogies and forthright, tongue in cheek theme, good Barbecue fare for sure. Check the above mentioned track out as well as a couple of other downloadable songs over at their myspace.

So far, no plans to tour outside of Spain are planned, but the eargoggles team is working ’round the clock and our readers will be the first to know if they head this, or any other, direction.

"cof cof: who said party?"

"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. - It's The Money Shot!!
