Cohen, Stephen

This Is A Test/let's All Root For The Home Team

Last copies! Stephen Cohen, where to begin? Firstly, how did a private press CD ('Real Life And Fiction') make it all the way from Portland, Oregon, to Tottenham, North London in the late 1990s? Passed on to Ethbo HQ by David Nettleton (Kadmon) via one of his wayward cassette mixes. Stephen's tracks stood out most of all, embedding themselves with their catchiness and bare-faced humanity, and a natural low-fi folk feel. 'This Is A Test'/'Let's All Root For The Home Team' was eventually released with little fanfare, on Ethbo in 2001, the A side with lyrics that never seem to lose their relevence, with the flip opening the discussion about the failure of the American Dream, something our noses are rubbed into fairly often these days.
