Coma Cinema shares video for "Satan Made A Mansion"

Posthumous Release out June 11 on Fork & Spoon Records / Orchid Tapes

VIDEO: Coma Cinema -"Satan Made A Mansion" (Dir. by Swiss Kraft) -  


Coma Cinema previously shared the song "Satan Made A Mansion," and now, you can watch the accompanying video over at Impose. The video was shot in Switzerland and directed by Swiss Kraft. 
 
Coma Cinema will be playing Living Bread in Brooklyn, NY on May 18 for the first ever Orchid Tapes showcase. Also playing will be Julia Brown, Foxes In Fiction, RL Kelly, and more. 

About Coma Cinema:

Spartanburg, SC is the tenth most miserable place in the United States, according to research organization Gallup. Nearly 51 percent of its residents are classified as suffering by Gallup, plagued by failing schools, beset by low median incomes, and fraught with socioeconomic tensions and high rates of debilitating diseases like diabetes and cancer. It's a town dominated by cover bands and country singers.

It's where Mat Cothran grew up, and where he started writing songs as Coma Cinema, singing simple guitar songs onto an old handheld tape recorder. His bedroom pop songs were characterized by an odd tension: hypnotizing and gentle arrangements and weighty, often visceral and occasionally morbid stream-of-consciousness-style lyrics.

His first three proper records, 2009's Baby Prayers, 2010's Stoned Alone and 2011's Blue Suicide, made the Internet rounds, fans and critics alike connecting with Cothran's terse songcraft, casual melancholy and early-adult confusion. All three were recorded on threadbare equipment, and as a result are winningly lo-fi, Cothran's affecting lyrics and deft melodies.

Posthumous Release does not hallmark a sea change in Coma Cinema's sound, but instead finds Cothran upping the production values of his songs to the breadth of their content. Cothran now lives in Columbia, SC, but recorded Posthumous Release in Los Angeles with Brad Petering and Jason Wyman from TV Girl and Rachel Levy (A longtime friend and collaborator who records under the moniker "R.L. Kelly"), and the higher-fidelity production allows the songs to breathe. Devoid of tape hiss, gentle acoustic guitar strums roll gently and brightly over fluid basslines and spare drum beats. Cothran's voice sits higher in the mix, allowing an emphatic pronunciation of his nuanced, minor key reality.

While the results boast a higher fidelity, the songs are still unmistakably Cothran's, an outlet for his bottled time. The raw emotion of Cothran's songs has been a constant, and it's easily Coma Cinema's biggest strength - but the tumultuous years that followed the release of Blue Suicide have allowed the songs to develop within Cothran's brain which has been at times his only means of songwriting.

Posthumous Release is a testament to what you can survive with the help of those that love you. It is not a record about pain or misery, but a record about loving everything and letting everything love you. How strange and how perfect survival can be.

Posthumous Release will be released on June 11 via Fork and Spoon Records (12-inch vinyl and compact disc) and Orchid Tapes (cassette).
