About Cocoanut Groove
Artist Biography
Cocoanut Groove is the solo project of Olov Antonsson, who began making recordings under that name in the summer of 2007. Joined on his first recordings by Calle Thoor, Frida Danielsson, Ivar Lantz, and Mattias Malm, Antonsson formulated a sleek, drowsy, mournful indie pop sound reminiscent of the Clientele and rooted in the sweet psychedelia of the Zombies and Mortimer. Cocoanut Groove's debut 7", The End of Summer on Bookbinder Road/Shadow, was released on London's Phonic Kidnapping Recordings in May 2008. A full-length album, Madeleine Street, was released on the Swedish label Fridlyst later that year. After a few years spent with only the occasional single to show for it, Antonsson returned in 2013 with the group's second album, How to Build a Maze. Released by Fortuna Pop and Plastilina concurrently, it hit the shelves in the fall, just as leaves began to turn color, the perfect time for such wonderfully autumnal music. ~ Tim Sendra
