Cocoon by Raveena

“Cocoon” is truly as raw as it gets. These are songs we have been holding in our hearts for years - some of which always felt better in their simplest form and most live-feeling recordings. They are songs that we wrote over multiple album processes that were always looking for a home*, and any time I’d try to record them in a more polished way- the intimacy, the ways the lyrics were sung.. it just never felt right. Sometimes the magic of a song lives primarily in its most infant form. You know - that’s usually when spirit first reaches the song. There’s something angelic and so sweet about the first iteration of a piece of music.

If you’re buying this CD- you know me. I’m tedious with my records. I slave away for years on that polish and cinematic feel on my records. Parting ways with this collection of songs was hard for me. I think the process of grief is making me less perfection-seeking; more vulnerable, more open, more in the moment. I hope these songs find you on a wintery drive home, an evening of reflection, a time In your life when you are away from the BS, and able to feel into all the empty spaces, imperfections, and tender lyrics of this little collection of songs.
