Coco Mosquito’s first solo album offers something completely different, interesting, and unexpected. From the cover – whose photo of the ducks he took – to the execution and presentation of the album, it is clear that Coco Mosquito put music in the foreground, trying to avoid all the predictable manners of showbiz promotion. In other words, this is “pure music” for true fans, so they will find their way to them and beyond the usual PR strategy that is set before successful formations like Jinx.

After the release of the teaser for the song No.1 and the first single / video for No.3, the debut album, ie the instrumental project of Gordan Muratović called “l’after life by coco mosquito“, has been officially released as of today. His first original, instrumental long-playing work is available in LP/CD/digital formats and on all streaming platforms.
At its core musically, this work can be classified as a crossover genre between saxophone jazz quartet and synth-wave.
