George Cochrane was born in Santa Cruz, California, surrounded by tall trees and sparkling ocean. Starting off as a long-haired metal bassist writing songs about devil worship, he wound his way through grunge, pop punk, classical and jazz before stumbling on electronic music in the late 90s. Needless to say, he fell quickly in love, and committed happily to it.
Releasing a string of house and instrumental hip hop records in a variety of guises and collaborations, he earned a reputation for edgy, intricately musical productions that laid waste to dance floors (and chillrooms). He soon became a regular on prominent compilations and the charts of innovative DJs.
Eventually missing the songwriting-heavy days of his past, George decided to lock himself in the studio with little more than a drumset, guitars, and a couple of keyboards. He finally emerged with the songs that made up his new solo album The White Pinecone, now out on San Francisco's Dinner Party Records.
The record mashes disco, rock, electro and indie pop together in equal measure, and believe us, it all goes together like peanut butter and chocolate. Check it out.
