New Releases

N+002 . COH . WYGG [While Your Guitar Gently]

  • Format: CD, Digital
  • Release Date: 29 April 2022

NOTON is pleased to announce the release of COH's album WYGG.

Throughout his career, Stockholm-based sound artist and musician Ivan Pavlov has shown a relentless desire to map musical landscapes and sound qualities.

A reference to The Beatles' While My Guitar Gently Weeps, WYGG takes back the ambitions of COH's previous album MUSIC VO to the electronic and digital domains. With prominent acoustic tones, WYGG ruminates on the tonal qualities of the guitar, resulting in a balanced combination of sonic, textural, and melodic explorations between acoustic and programmed sounds.

The two closing tracks conceived by COH as an extension of the album's sonic narrative flit between minimalism and abstract pop with vocal work from Pavlov and house of Chanel's muse Ola Rudnicka as a vocalist.
