Senor Coconut

A red-haired, mustachioed maverick

Senor Coconut - an amusing nom-de-disque for a red-haired, mustachioed maverick that grew up in Frankfurt and ordinarily goes by the (somewhat more prosaic) name of Uwe Schmidt. But then Schmidt has a history of mirth making. Under a slew of entertaining monikers - Atom Heart, Lisa Carbon Trio, Dots, Lassigue Bendthaus, Flanger, Geeez ‘N’ Gosh, Masters of Psychedelic Ambiance – he has insisted on resisting electronica’s more insipid tendencies in favour of more playful experiments.
