Press Release by: Sounni de Fontenay
New York City is a wildlife preserve known for the aerial droppings of its winged inhabitants. KOKO DOZO is NYC's native belching honkbird that deposits upon the heads of its victims the collective musical droppings of Polarity/1 (www.polarity1.com), Amy Douglas (www.myspace.com/amybdouglas) and Rubio (www.ricamusica.com). This bird warbles in the key of GROOVE dipped in the house special surreal sauce and spiced with multi-layered, multi-lingual wordplay. The music defies all natural laws of genre categorization. We'll let others get more specific:
"Jazz from another planet."
"Political, Pointed, Unrelentingly Frank, Hilarious, Kooky, Avant-Garde, Futuristic Jazz....with a beat...."
"Like Beefheart with a beat..."
"By the time you realize you're hearing three very angry people, it's too late....you're dancing...."
"Glossy, Glassy, Brassy, Punk Attitude, Funk Delivery..."
"Music that makes you dance, and makes you think."
"Frank Zappa's out there brand of humour, with infectious grooves, stellar musicianship, and soulful singing..."
"A combo of world music, atmospheric electronica, funk, and beat poetry with a diva deliverin' it...."
"Oh god...the hipsters are gonna love this. I might just shoot myself...."
"This was made by only 3 people?- DAMN!"
Don't wait, listen to the Koko Dozo track "DC Whore"

Polarity/1 is about groove, texture and evidence of human interference. An unpredictable genre hybrid of electronica and songs. Grooves are based on homemade loops, cut & paste percussive noise, and live playing. Stories, delerium & political statements make beat science for curved dancefloor.
