Paranoid Cocoon (
Suicide Squeeze Records) is the first full length release from Page France front man
Michael Nau under his new moniker,
Cotton Jones. While it would be easy to compare this record to Nau's previous releases with Page France, it seems pointless to do so because they are, according to Nau, two completely different projects. Joining Nau in Cotton Jones is
Whitney McGraw who was also a member of Page France. Her soft voice is laced throughout the album, making every song she sings in sound just a little bit sweeter and a little more innocent. Her voice is the perfect counter-balance to Nau's raspy drawl. And if the Page France influence wasn't quite strong enough,
Clinton Jones, Page France drummer, designed the albums quirky layout and artwork.
