The visuals see SOKO magically bringing a stuffed animal to life and creating a picture-perfect life with her new companion only to have her creation ghost her.

Cory Becker's debut album, ONE, came to life in a one-room studio in the dirt floored basement of his Echo Park rental, which he built from ground up. The album embraces the authenticity and experimentation of analog recording - engineering and producing the album himself, he experimented with a variety of techniques and performed nearly every aspect of the album himself, aside from select musical guests he invited to play on select tracks. Despite being Becker's first try at recording and producing everything on his own, he was able to create a unique sonic footprint that encompasses modern indie rock and folk, and the values and traditions of the canon of American roots music. ONE is out now on all streaming platforms.

Today, LA-based indie folk artist Cory Becker shares 'Rivers', the second single off his upcoming debut album One. Buzzbands LA premiered the track earlier this week, praising, 'It's an album that in many ways embraces the traditions of American folk music yet abides an important creative M.O.: Go where the song takes you.

Think of it as a cowboy mystic's take on 'Que Sera, Sera'.' Lead single 'Haunt', released in October, was featured on Spotify's coveted Fresh Finds playlist.
