We are Coma Cartel, an experimental project fusing electronic music with art-rock and pop. We're all about blending electronic production, pop songwriting, live instrumentation, and contemporary studio wizardy. Our music is jazzy, soulful and powerful, with dramatic dynamic shifts, heavy low-end, unusual textures and intricate harmonies.
We're ambitious and focused; committed to touring regularly, sustaining ourselves as professional musicians, writing excellent music, and having immense fun in the process.
At the moment we're focusing on songwriting, recording material for our first album, and putting together a live set. We're rehearsing regularly, and are mostly working at Pyramind Studios in SF.
We've recently parted ways with our singer, and are looking for a new vocalist (ideally female) to join the project! We're less interested in any specific style than finding someone with great technical skills and a well-developed creative voice, who has compatible artistic goals.
Our released material is available at :///comacartel, and you can check out a few works-in-progress at s:///comacartel/sets/check-it/s-BnG0o
