Through myriad backdrops, there’s one thing all the songs have in common: they spark your imagination. They sound like a retro mixture of old school funk, psychedelic rock and surf-ish guitars.\n\nInspired by artists like Menahan Street Band, Orions Belte, and Yussef Dayes, the three band members craft their own diorama on the album ‘Consider It Done’. A world where palm trees can grow perfectly fine on the North Pole and where surf rock, 60’s soul, and 90’s hip-hop can form the basis for Cocobolo’s modern vintage sound. https://ebbmusic.eu/artists/cocobolo/", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3412226, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3412226/", "airdate": "2024-10-13T17:20:17-07:00", "show": 61567, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61567/", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Alphabet St.", "track_id": "996b7557-a9a3-3177-8c1a-bbe9cfcdb795", "recording_id": "ccc9fc32-9560-43c9-8d43-774baac78f43", "artist": "Prince", "artist_ids": [ "070d193a-845c-479f-980e-bef15710653e" ], "album": "Lovesexy", "release_id": "afabb3e2-3100-45ee-a730-b45ad2953e15", "release_group_id": "905760be-b337-376d-94ce-64f22df89aed", "labels": [ "Warner Bros.
