pulco is the project of staggeringly prolific UK based songwriter, bedroom recording artist and general purveyor and promoter of all things lofi music, ash cooke. ash had a measure of success in the music business with his band
derrero, touring with a number of notable indie acts, but for the past ten years, he has just released his 'sketchbook' of recordings under the
pulco moniker, and i'm sorry i haven't written about him sooner.
his latest album, '
innovation in the trade', features a trade off between bedroom power-pop jammers with urgent, beautiful choruses and stranger, more experimental songs with spoken passages and eccentric drum loops, and both side of the coin are solidly polished. highly recommended. i'll have to spend some time digging through his
extensive back catalog.
name your price for it and a lot more
here.
