RIO KOSTA LANCIA IL SUO PRIMO ALBUM ‘UNICORN’ GUIDATO DALLA TITLE TRACK

The psychedelic, life-affirming sounds of Rio Kosta have already captivated a cult following, racking up 3 million streams and 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Now, the Los Angeles duo step into a new era with the release of their debut album Unicorn, led by the spellbinding focus track of the same name.

Previewed by singles Ancients, Higher and It’s Starting, the album flows like a fever dream, sleek vocal harmonies, hypnotic grooves, and world music influences weave together to create a set of hallucinogenic summer jams. From the funk-fuelled energy of The Wheel to the Latin-infused Volar Lejos (Like A Feather) and the gospel-tinged Save My Soul, Unicorn offers a kaleidoscopic sonic journey.

At its heart lies Unicorn, a track born from the duo’s very first jam together. The song became a defining moment and mission statement, setting the tone for the entire record. It embodies the spirit of fate, friendship, and musical discovery that has guided Rio Kosta from the very beginning.

Mike Del Rio explains: “The ethos of this project has always been about friendship, endless creativity and eternal childhood. We hope listeners can feel the bliss and love we poured into this album as we invite you into the Rio Kosta universe.”

Phase one of Rio Kosta has arrived. Unicorn is more than a debut album, it’s an open invitation to step into their world of connection, creativity, and high vibrations.
