bloococoon

**bloococoon** is a Seattle-based band that has quickly become a staple in their local music scene. Formed towards the end of 2021 by singer-songwriter and guitarist Sharim, the group combines elements of shoegaze, trip hop, and 90s alternative rock to create a unique sound.

The band has gained recognition by playing alongside notable acts and at festivals like FreakOut Fest and Tremolo Shoegaze Festival.
