about

A work over a year in the making, _Electrock EP: The Four Unicorns of the Apocalypse_ is Cook's labor of love. A programmatic, quasi-symphonic work, _Four Unicorns_ essentially follows a musical story arc of decadence-decline-disaster-recovery, as envisioned both through the historical lens of the rise and fall of civilizations and the biblical lens of the Book of Revelation. The first two songs reflect a generally decadent, good-times vibe (especially the unabashedly dance-y--and aptly titled--"Disco Unicorn"). "Zombie Unicorn," the third track and arguably the centerpiece of the entire work, is when all hell breaks loose. Finally, "Future Unicorn" ends on a cautiously optimistic note, although the final coda--a reprise of the layered synth part that opens the EP--suggests that the cycle will repeat itself. Oooh--eerie!

Tracks include "Cyborg Unicorn," "Disco Unicorn," "Zombie Unicorn," and "Future Unicorn." The official release date was 23 November 2012. "Zombie Unicorn" was made available as a promotional single on Halloween 2012.

Fans RAVE about _The Four Unicorns of the Apocalypse_:

"I think that's kind of a cute name for an album.... I can just kind of sort of picture in my mind... four deadly looking unicorns coming down to do battle on the Earth or, I don't know, some kind of sci-fi/fantasy nonsense like that."
~ Frank Moseley, Host of AMRadioi's Classic Alt Rock!! at www.spreaker.com/show/amradioi_s_classic_alt_rock_1

"...like Yes meets the Donkey Kong soundtrack. One word: Genius." ~Erin W., social worker, mother of two, music lover

"It makes a great holiday gift... it is genius... kind of like Konami meets baroque classical music."
~ Steve-O, ukulele enthusiast, professional clown
