Artist description In theater and film, cucoloris is the artificial manipulation of light and shadow to create effects that mimic light patterns found in nature. In music, Los Angeles duo Cucoloris bends the gradations of light and shadow into carefully constructed compositions that are both rich and minimal. Using Clay Tison’s classical training and Kat Cook’s indie-rock experience, this songwriting team refines their work into a haunting and evocative brand of beautiful music – recalling This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins.
