A short while ago we featured the mysterious duo The Kokoro as they teased with an intro video featuring apocalyptic shots from their upcoming productions. The duo followed this up with their outlandish debut video for “Broken“. The track lulls you into a false sense of security before hitting you over the head repeatedly with THAT drop.
The Kokoro, which means heart of things in Japanese, is the brainchild of vocalist and all round performance queen Lee Triffon with uber producer Dan Farber. Both have achieved numerous successes with their past output be it touring China, hitting up SXSW/Primavera/etc and achieving over 1 million views on youtube with Lee‘s previous projects. While Dan‘s production work has won him shootouts from some of EDM‘s biggest players as well as regularly scoring plays in the tens of thousands.
The Kokoro is a different proposition; A collision of worlds where no detail is left unattended. Not only has the duo prepared visuals for up to four tracks in advance but by choosing to collaborate with choreographers, dancers, fashion stylists means that there is a constant imagery and language seen throughout their work.
Of course this track may not be to everyone’s liking but love em or hate em The Kokoro elicit real reactions. Having had a sneak peak into their world I can not wait to see more and I’m convinced that The Kokoro have the material and the attitude to last the course.
“Broken” is out now and available as a free download via the duo’s FB.
