History
Mat Cothran began writing songs under the name "Coma Cinema" at the age of 15.[2] After years of performing locally to promote his music, Cothran released a collection of his recordings in January 2009, entitled Baby Prayers.
Baby Prayers caught the attention of music blogs and websites—including Pitchfork.com, who posted the music video for "Flower Pills" in February 2010.[3] In June 2010, Coma Cinema followed up with their second album, Stoned Alone.[4] Accompanying its digital release, Coma Cinema announced on their website that their music is "currently free [to] download and listen to."[5]
Recent Work
Coma Cinema's most recent album, Blue Suicide, is awaiting official release in both digital and physical formats (Wonderbeard Tapes will be releasing cassette tapes; Fork and Spoon Records is pressing the vinyl).[6] Two tracks off Blue Suicide have already been released in a split 7" with band Teen Porn through AMDISCS: "Wondering" and "Greater Vultures." [7]
Coma Cinema has plans to tour in the spring or summer of 2011.[2]
