Coma Girls formed in 2014 in Atlanta, and they’ve since come a long way and travelled through a myriad of sonic (and geographical) territories to get to where they are now. After Chris Spino sold his belongings and moved to L.A. with a backpack full of clothes and a guitar. “Music is always the best therapy for me,” he says. Though that’s fairly clear in his songs—the urgency and the vitality are palpable. Coma Girls are releasing their Skyboxer EP on January 29; today they are sharing the title-track, which is now available to stream.
The album features a cast of Spino’s friends, seven other musicians as well as himself on vocals, guitar & piano; Travis Popichak on drums; Marvin Figueroa on bass; Dan Gee on keys; Adam Laidlaw on guitar; Michika Skyy on backing vocals; and Connor “Catfish” Gallaher, whose talents can be heard on records from The Black Lips, Tim Heidecker & Weyes Blood and more on pedal steel. Producing, engineering, and mixing is Tomas Dolas (Oh Sees, SASAMI, Mr. Elevator and the Brain Hotel).
