New song @ myspace
Hi!
Just thought I'd let you know that there is a new song up at www.myspace.com/cocoanutgroove. It's called A gull's wing. This song was written and recorded a little too late to make it onto the upcoming album, but I could't keep myself from letting you hear it. I'm very very pleased with it... Calle Thoor has been very helpfull in the recording and production of this song. Cheers for that, Calle.
Hope you'll like the song!

Single pre-order avaliable now!
Hello again! Still no sign of spring here in Umea. Snowflakes are crashing against my window as I'm writing this...BUT on a much brighter note:
The Cocoanut Groove debut 7" single "End of the Summer on Bookbinder Road"/"Shadow" is on it's way! It should arrive smokin' hot from the pressing plant sometime next week!
It's very limited, only 300 copies and the prices are:
£ 4 for Europe
£ 4.5 for rest of the world. Now that's pretty reasonable, don't you think?
You can pre-order it now!
Just send the money to Phonic Kidnapping Records at pkrecords@voila.fr via paypal. Easy, innit? The single will also be available through various internet mail orders and such.
The LP, "Madeleine Street" is due out on May 9 (bit delayed...but it's worth the wait, right?!) More info about that + summer tour info and more coming soon!

Easter in the recording studio
Hi there friends of Cocoanut Groove. Just thought I'd let you know what's been going on lately... I've just spent four full days recording some new songs. These new songs have been co-produced with Calle Thoor from Bolywool. I'm very positive about the outcome... The songs span from lazy summery West Coast balladry, to spooky folk & stompy Penny Lane-esque sunshine 60's hits. Hopefully they will be released in one form or other later this year... But forget about that for just a while, won't you. There are matters of more burning importance you see:
The "Bookbinder Road" single is on it's way! It's been a little bit delayed, but now it will almost certainly be out by the 18th of April!
The LP, "Madeleine Street" is due out the first days of May now... Release parties will be held in Umea and Stockholm.
I can't wait for these releases, honestly...
Hope you feel the same way too!
Stay tuned for more news & that...
Love

Newsflash! Single & Album release info! Of burning importance!
I am very proud to announce that April sees the release of no less than two Cocoanut Groove records:
In early April (no exact date set yet) the single End of the summer on Bookbinder Road/Shadow will be released by London based label Phonic Kidnapping Records.
Great news, huh?
But it doesn«t end there! Some weeks later, in late April, my debut LP will be released by swedish label Fridlyst! It will be called Madeleine Street and contain 10 tracks.
Cover art, exact release dates + info on where and how to buy these products will appear soon!
You can now listen to 2 samples from these records on my myspace-page: www.myspace.com/cocoanutgroove.
Love
Olov

Hi & welcome to the all new cocoanutgroove.com! As you may have noticed, I'm not really a webdesigner or anything like that, but I've tried to dig up some basic html skills from way back in the 90's...
Anyway, some good news: I'll be playing in Norrkoping at Klubb Republik in about two weeks (Feb 28!). Also playing is Lykke Li. More info here. It should be good!
Oh, and expect some major news about forthcoming releases very soon! I can't tell you just yet...but I can see good times on the horizon.
Olov @ Coco HQ
