ALSO CAN YOU EVEN SAY YOU'RE "UNDERGROUND" IF YOU DIDN'T SEE WALLY PLAY LIVE?!?!?
JK you missed out, but it's ok, THE SPIRIT LIVES ON in COOKIE & PANDORA! A splicing of the artist's diaries before, during, and after the formation of ODWALLA1221
We're honored to have a few copies of the brand new artist book/memoir/tour diary/tell-all by artist & musician Chloé Maratta! Cookie & Pandora is the punk coming of age exposé of your dreams, taking the form of a spiral bound series of collages and diary excerpts. Cookie & Pandora captures the feeling of wading through the illicit spaces across the American underground, stringing together a tour in every nook and cranny of the unknown, documenting the characters these spaces attract and the relationships, hopes, and dreams attached to every set and exchange along the journey. What it feels like to be in a band. To hit the road. To throw yourself into it in every way you can
What if we still remember that you snuck into that show 13 years ago while we were working the door...?! THINK ABOUT THAT
FROM THE PUBLISHER: Cookie & Pandora (Diary Part 3) explores the work and archive of artist & musician Chloé Maratta. This 'premature TELL-ALL' is composed of a collection of writings, lyrics, and diary entries seen for the first time. Ordered loosely chronologically, the collection is punctuated by customized diary cover assemblages which function as monoliths of self mythologization.
There is humor to Maratta’s diary entries as well as an insight into the ethos and influences of the artist. "LEARN SOMETHING O.K?" A diary entry from 2011 reveals an epiphany playfully: “I feel like I am beginning to understand my ebb + flow in the universe and myself myself myself myself more than before" which is later overturned with concerns for clothes: tie dye tees, letterman jackets, looking PUNK. This syntax /logic reveals the seeds for Maratta’s later noise project: Odwalla1221, (as well as its sister Slipper) which has been described as a project that “pushed the boundaries of music, art and fashion, with a punk simplicity at its core, a classically no wave formal logic of brut repetition, a 21st century sonic palette with a post-net art sensibility, all tied together with a distinctly feminine lyrical and aesthetic vision” (nina protocol).
Cookie is a continuation of multiple series, of 'Diary,' of 'Wasteland,' & an ode to friendship, an ode to aspirations, ROSES & IDK
