Your Arms Are My Cocoon is a one-man DIY midwest screamo project formed by Chicago-based musician/songwriter Tyler Odom (not to be confused with Tyler from the Alabama emo band Northstar). The band has always been only Tyler performing all the instrumentals, screams, etc, with backing tracks during live performances (linked below, they are an experience). Your Arms Are My Cocoon has an extremely unique performance and recording style where all the instrumentals are very raw and distorted, giving the effect of a gameboy orchestra. The vocals are also recorded extremely raw, and are largely high pitched shrieks (similar to Jeromes Dream, Letters to Catalonia, I Hate Sex and Flowers Taped to Pens.) In fact, if I HAD to give you a "for fans of" list of bands, since there's practically no other band doing this style, I'd say you might enjoy him if you enjoy those high pitched shriek punk bands, as well as bands that use chiptune/8/16/other retro video game instrumentals such as Crying.
YAAMC live in Austin, Texas
Tyler released his first (and so far, only) self-titled EP in 2020, and with tracks like Snowy! and Metamorphosis being big crowd pleasures, it'll be exciting to see where Tyler goes with this project. Your Arms Are My Cocoon is only going up from here with attention on underground music boards such as r/emo, and the modern screamo community is extremely supportive of Odom, which I love to see.
Check out Tyler's music wherever you stream or buy music, and hit up his merch page if you want!
