Biography

Cones are Jonathan and Michael Rosen, two brothers from San Francisco who make far-out, addictive pop music in Los Angeles. Jonathan, the band's singer and principal songwriter, is also a visual artist whose trippy animations and drawings have been styled for artists such as Erykah Badu, Toro y Moi, and Pond. Michael is a classically trained pianist, composer and producer who carefully crafts their recordings at his Los Angeles studio Honeymoon Suite. Together, Jonathan's intuitive, abstract approach and Michael's technical prowess combine to create what Tiny Mix Tapes describe as "crisp, tuneful, spontaneous bursts of sound and color." 
 After a string of acclaimed singles and their debut album Pictures Of Pictures (2019), Cones are back with their second album, Almanac. Created during the first year of the pandemic, Almanac proves true to its namesake, acting as a musical cartograph encapsulating the brothers’ experience of such a perplexing time in history. The captivating new record offers up an intoxicating blend of psychedelic exploration, nostalgic lyrics, and muscular pop craftsmanship, complete with infectious hooks and grooves that hint at everything from Big Star and the Replacements to ELO and the Bee Gees. Mind-bending bass lines, euphoric synthesizers, deliciously crunchy guitar riffs and twisting vocal melodies all coalesce into a one-of-a-kind psychedelic sound that works equally well blaring from speakers at a party or on headphones late at night.
