Brothers Ryan and Taylor Lawhorn make up duo KO KO, and there’s a certain closeness in the music and lyrics that seems to reflect this. The California natives make music that combines intimate lyrics with gently catchy melodies. Take ‘Float’, for example. Vulnerability and summer pop collide in this tale of carrying on against adversity, creating one of the lo-fi indie gems of the year.
