PRESS
"Along with a full band, the Cosebooms subscribe to that very popular Bay Area school of shoegazy atmospheric pop, yet years of making music together give their songwriting a distinct edge. The band judiciously layers electronic effects, guitar, cello, bass, drums, and Rebecca's delicate vocals into songs suitable for late-night contemplation."
- Bay Area Express
"For your shoegazing pleasure."
- SF Weekly
"Rebecca Coseboom sings with a rarefied, alluring intimacy..."
- MSNBC
“Rebecca Coseboom's voice flutters around your head like a silky scarf and the whole is like a sonic manifestation of a romantic swoon…”
- The Stranger, Seattle
BIO
When their longtime band, Halou, came to an end in 2008 (during a US tour with indie legend Bob Mould), Ryan and Rebecca Coseboom regrouped quickly and launched their new project, Stripmall Architecture. Stripmall Architecture often achieves an almost opiate effect, combining the intricate electronics and fragile, fallen-angel vocals of Halou with layers of gauzy guitars - both warm and fuzzy and often quite loud and confrontational. There's a sort of dizziness to the recordings due mainly to the hypnotic basslines and the coalescence of the textures the band cleverly layers to create something quite complex that can't be fully taken in without repeat listens. While it can be difficult to find a single genre into which Stripmall Architecture fits snugly, the bulk of their varied, eclectic and impressively pedigreed material seems to fall somewhere within the vast universes of noisy indie rock and early-90s shoegaze (if you're thinking of something between the anthemic atmospherics of Sigur Ros and the spangled-pop of the Cocteau Tiwns, you're in the right neighborhood).
Stripmall Architecture is currently performing live around the Bay Area while they finish up their first full-length album.
