These are just some of the many genres of music F.C Coconut samples and incorporates throughout <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coconut Island<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other styles the Winnipeg producer weaves effortlessly through the whole album are jazz, soul, island, as well as a more matured lo-fi feel. it would be hard to classify the best mood for listening to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coconut Island<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as it is very versatile and effortlessly captivating. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to describe the general feel of this album would be, as the title suggests, that wave of warmth and security that washes over you as you\u2019re laying down on a secluded tropical island beach, and of course, you\u2019d have a coconut in hand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At many points throughout <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coconut Island<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it sounds as if F.C Coconut sampled old vinyl records, you can hear the fuzziness of the record, which provides a distant but present feeling of nostalgia. These small things that F.C has incorporated into the album show off his great attention to detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in all, if you were unfamiliar with F.C Coconut and enjoy the fusion of different genres made into one, or you\u2019re simply in need of unwinding and taking your mind off things, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coconut Island<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is worth the listen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Neda Masoomifar Local Winnipeg producer F.C Coconut released his newest album, Coconut Island in early May.
