"My Coco" comes off Stellastarr*'s self-titled album of 2003, and it's a calling card for a band that wanted its guitars sharp, its drama turned up and its hooks nagging. The band wrote it together, and Tim O'Heir produced and engineered the sessions, keeping the sound lean and immediate rather than polished to a gloss.
Brian Malouf mixed it, with Dan Milazzo assisting, and the result is a track that lurches and yelps like new wave dragged into the new century, all nervous energy and a chorus that won't leave your head alone. Rock radio's listeners kept it on their countdowns for a good decade after it first turned up.
