This Chicago leader of fifth wave emo puts 8-bit bedroom pop and screamo in a bloody blender.

Your Arms Are My Cocoon is fairly young, starting as a solo project from Tyler Odom in 2020, and maturing into a foursome.

Tickets to see Your Arms Are My Cocoon play the Skatepark of Tampa on Tuesday, April 1 are still available for $15.
