Corita 04.02.11
@ Fontana's NYC I admittedly had never heard of Corita Kent when I first booked Corita the band for a show here back in '09. I just thought they had a cool name, were friends with our bartender Zoe, and listed all-time greats The Raincoats as influences all of which are more than good enough for me (there's also more than a hint of the amazing Caulfield Sisters in there too for good measure). After seeing them this last time, especially in the light of how they've honed their dreamy pop goodness, the total spectrum of how Corita Kent Technicolor pastel imagery fits in and just clicks. Some bands are born out of time and place and it's truly too bad that they weren't around in the 4AD heyday of 80's gloomy England as they would have fit right in. That being said, what's old is new again and there's definitely always a place for good hypnotic songs to lose yourself in. corita.bandcamp.com
