An acoustic guitar and two soft voices. That’s all the warm autumn folk songs by Cocoon need to awaken our melancholy self. Listen to the beautiful Tell me or their cover of Outkast’s Hey Ya!.

Duo Mark and Morgane – just 19 and 22 years old – have already won a string of talent competitions in their home country France. The verdicts often refer to respected artists like Nick Drake, Elliot Smith and Sufjan Stevens. And on their new album, My Friends All Died In A Plane Crash they prove that it’s a valid comparison. And for once, we think their French accent is just charming!
