Happy Pockets

Happy Pockets was recorded live off the floor one day in Toronto with guitar, cello, bass and two drummers. A very raw and dynamic afternoon captured. Coco’s lyrics speak very openly from her perspective as a 23 year old woman finding her place in the world, some passages coming straight out of her journal.
