POP ELIXiR’s bubbly freshman release, Pinocchio, comes from producing and songwriting duo ilovetheIRS and nocoke. With production by White Mayo and vocal engineering by NC native John Kearney, this pop-trap fusion interpolates melodies from the best of underground alternative music. Raspy, strained melodies from ilovetheIRS mixed with the loud rockstar intensity provided by nocoke create a dreamy, ethereal soundscape that scratches an itch we didn’t know we had.
