COA (Acronym for "Coming of Age") is the debut studio album by American musician Ericdoa, released on November 6, 2020, via Interscope Records. Production was handled by a variety of record producers, including Ericdoa himself.
Background
Ericdoa had been around on the internet for quite some time, and became a rising star in hyperpop,[1] differentiating himself throughout his amorphous tracks often filled with glitching and distorted vocals.[2] Following the release of Public Target,[3][4] Eric quickly followed up with "COA," which was later released through Interscope Records.[5] The album addresses themes of heartbreak,[6] and the cover art was shot in BDSM dungeon.[2]
Critical reception
Mano Sundaresan of Pitchfork said that the album was "thrilling," full of smoking angst, it feels symbolic of the moods and textures that this scene intends to seize.[6]
