Baltimore’s answer to dub pop soul with a tropical edge is absolutely Co La, and this week they’ve debuted another glorious track, "Blanketing Marrakesh", paired with a hallucinatory collage of warped images. It’s part of their series called "Fugitive of Leisure" which you can check out on Soundcloud now.
Here are some sweet words from fellow Baltimorean, Ken Seeno of Ponytail, on Co La, "This is the music that I want to wake up to every morning while a Rube Goldberg Contraption pours fresh coffee and makes hot waffles. For me, Co La embodies the memory of coasting through a dry Mexican town with the windows open, shirt sleeves rolled up, drinking a Coke out of a glass bottle, and soaking in the vivid hues of color. Co La is the passport from Spring to Summer. Crisp, Heady, Co La."
