Kokomo – If This Is All: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day
Kokomo release If This Is All, what they call ‘a two and a half minute blast of left-field socially-conscious folk-rock. Just what the world needs now…’
Here’s the blurb:
With the world falling apart seemingly faster each day Kokomo take a left step from the blues and move into that genre that was about to become so fashionable 60 years ago – folk-rock.
With a blast of social commentary aligned with a left-field love song, if this was released in 1978 it would have seen singer / songwriter Derek Jacombs described as “the new Dylan”. But then every singer / songwriter was called that back then. At 2 ½ minutes it gets in and gets out, making its point quickly and firmly, adding in a killer chorus riff and a harmonica solo.
If This Is All comes from Kokomo new 3-song Back Bar / If This Is All EP, to be released on all platforms on Matariki weekend, July 15th – the video for Back Bar will be launched at the same time.
Kokomo then hit the road in August, playing at the Bay Of Islands Jazz & Blues Festival, and Palmerston North’s Blues & Grooves Festival as well as shows in Hamilton and Tauranga. Then there are plans for the next album…
