This EP is some of the freshest and most creative music I've heard in a good while. I really like that they don’t focus on one genre in particular but just let the music go its way – and in doing so they created a very interesting and colorful piece of art led by the fun of making music itself. - Common Folk Meadow
Coo & Howl completely innovate whatever genre my feeble brain wants to box them into. A little bluesy (ah that guitar is sweet!), a bit folksy (especially the so soft vocals), totally experimental, Coo & Howl have captured my attention away from just about everything today. - Love Shack Baby

Bio
Coo & Howl is a 5-person collective of family members and friends, most of whom have performed together in Boston bands for the last ten years. These close musical partnerships have allowed the band to develop a uniquely collaborative writing style. Each song is balanced by a tension between influences and styles—and hints at recognizable genres without falling prey to the conventional trappings of any particular one.
Even a casual listen to either of the band's EPs (Water Came & Cooled Us All, Esses) offers a rewarding experience that covers a lot of sonic ground. Shifting subtly between folk, psychedelia, blues and classical, the music twists and turns without sacrificing a pop-oriented focus on melody. A more careful listen reveals the band's obsessive attention to composition and arrangement. Layers of little sounds bring the songs to life, and betray a real love of the recording process.
Coo & Howl make music for the pure joy of it. And it shows
