Your Arms Are My Cocoon: birth/rabbit/death in Iowa City
In wedding gowns and emo hair, Chicago screamo band Your Arms Are My Cocoon brought their own miserable bedroom of glittery teen angst back to Gabe’s in Iowa City.
Barnett and Vile’s collaborative album Lotta Sea Lice shows the two working off each other’s influences, while creating an utterly new sound together. While it lacks some dynamic variation, their styles compliment each other interestingly, and it tells a compelling story about how they became friends. (image via: pitchfork.com)
