- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The debut album from Princeton! Among the many detrimental effects that love
has on the mind, one of the more subtle is the way it litters the memory with
a batch of misplaced associations - places, figures, products and
(especially) music that, through chance, become invested with deep personal
significance. This detritus of love is scattered all over Princeton's, Cocoon
of Love, right down to its title, taken from a long-ago-canceled children's
show. Stacks of herbal tea, a glow-in-the-dark monument, paperback writers,
the Wall Street Journal, a departing Mercedes, The Metamorphosis, video
arcades, graffiti, and a cyclist on the Autobahn all figure prominently into
Princeton's musical sketches.
Fittingly for such a broad range of lyrical touchstones, the band's musical
influences stretch just as wide, taking in everything from Something Else-era
Kinks to Serge Gainsbourg, New Order, Arthur Russell, Scott Walker, Yo La
Tengo and Gilberto Gil. While still rooted in the Baroque pop of their past
work, Cocoon of Love sees the band explore new moods and styles.
