Coronation

About Coronation

Coronation is a trio consisting of long time Northwest musicians, Joshua Blanchard, Andy Brown & David LiaBraaten. Andy Brown cut his teeth with many bands, including Seattle space rock pioneers, Jessamine, and Southern Lord/Kranky recording artists Fontanelle. Joshua Blanchard played with synth-punks Point Line Plane and psychedelic folksters, Plants. This year saw the addition of David LiaBraaten, adding percussion & backup vocals. The band brings together elements of synth pop, Italian disco and up-tempo new romantic crooning into a tasty aural blend that's both fresh and familiar. While most dance music lives in the thrill of the moment, Coronation explores what happens the day after the party and divulges autobiographical tales of broken relationships, hangovers, and burning the candle at both ends.

Coronations' latest single and equally strong b-side Black Box b/w Sketchy gives us recordings of two crowd-favorite numbers they've been playing live for months now - and we're happy to finally be able to "take them home," so to speak.

The two songs are available digitally and on limited edition 7-inch vinyl. Follow links to Bandcamp to get it.
Italo-disco

Cool Evidence is Coronations' latest single. Featuring their customary Italo-disco sound sonically, and a dark-seduction vibe from Joshua Blanchard's vocals. The group is this year a trio with David LiaBraaten joining as percussionist and hype-man.
Italo-disco

Coronation's first full-length album. Rumor was produced while the group was still a duo, as Joshua Blanchard and Andy Brown. They've since brought in David Liabraaten as hype-man, adding vocals and percussion.
