Sweet Jesus: Steve Cobby’s One Man Cottage Industry

Indigo by Chris Coco

Posted on July 12, 2019 by Matt Nearest-Faraway

Since I first heard Chris Coco’s album ‘Indigo’ in April it’s been one of my most played pieces of the year. It’s a real ambient gem, filled with deep listening, languid, cinematic and (dare I say it?) spiritual music. Have a listen with the links below, then get over to his Bandcamp to get you own copy. The spin off releases; ‘Slow Motion Saturday‘ and ‘Music for Relaxation‘ are similarly gorgeous. Personal favourite, the eno-esque lullaby ‘Event Horizon – Out’ it’s just sublime…
