coin opera

Coin Opera could be a lone figure strumming and/or finger picking an acoustic guitar, to a full fledged band of pedal stomping noiseniks in search of the perfect sound (and

everything in between).

Recent Press:



What Went Wrong With The Right is a cool, understated album full of strangely pensive and personal tunes. Zusman's songs are, for the most part, rather subtle and subdued.and the vocals in many cases border on whispers. After spinning this CD several times, our impression is that this album was created out of pure inspiration. The songs are rather peculiar and abstract.in some cases recalling some of the softer tunes from Britain's The Television Personalities. Slightly loose and somewhat unrehearsed sounding, this album is an odd treat. The more familiar it becomes.the better it sounds. Ten cool underground non-hits for thinking listeners.

There’s a moment about halfway through “The Kids Are Not Alright”, the second track on What Went Wrong With The Right, where everything seems to fall apart. Then, just as we’re about to pack up and go home, Coin Opera man, P. Blue Zusman (with various helpers), pulls it all back together, and the song concludes just as it was meant to all along. It’s a clever device and provides a little extra tension and excitement on an album which is mostly subtle and understated. Hushed vocals add to the atmosphere of shadows and half heard conversations. Anything plainer would sound like an intrusion. There’s some personal stuff going on here - y’know, relationships and their various effects on the male psyche - and although there’s a lyric sheet provided, I’m not sure we’re meant to read it. It’s an impressive debut which gets better with repeated spins, and given the exposure, there’s definitely enough to it for inclusion on year end lists come December. Now all it’s got to do is get out there.
