RIO KOSTA SHARE THE DREAMY AND NOSTALGIC

OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “UNICORN”

HEADLINING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

UNDERWAY – MORE INFO & TICKETS HERE

Today, Los Angeles psych-soul duo RIO KOSTA share the dreamy and nostalgic official music video for “Unicorn,” the title track of their debut album – watch. Through flickering moments of recording sessions and sun-drenched scenes of Los Angeles, the music video immerses you in the lush world of Unicorn.

“‘Unicorn’ has been taking on a life of its own and we wanted to give a window to the world from which it was made. Zack Mizurik, who has been our longtime collaborator and director, had hours of footage at our HQ in LA just naturally doing our thing and thought it was a warm juxtaposition to the more produced and designed aesthetics of some of the other videos. The song just always felt homemade and piecemeal’d together so it felt appropriate to have the video reflect that same nature. RIO KOSTA is a family and a small village besides the two of us and hope that collective joy comes across,” shared the band.

LISTEN TO UNICORN

RIO KOSTA have embarked on their first live shows of 2026, and the tour has started with a bang with the sunset slot at Mexico's Bahidora Festival followed by a sold-out show in Chicago. The 16-city North American tour continues, with sold-out New York & San Diego dates coming up – hot off the heels of a sold-out UK/EU tour. Find more information and purchase tickets here.

The band also recently teamed up with Vancouver producer Vandelux for a peak-time house remix of Unicorn track “Follow The River” – listen. Built around percussive, rhythmic foundations and a driving groove, the remix transforms the original into a club-focused cut designed to carry energy across busy dancefloors.

PRAISE FOR RIO KOSTA:

“Hyper-cool music.”

–The Line of Best Fit

“Swoons and swirls, jazzy and house-tinged, a worldly and decadent collection of cuts that draw you in and chills you out.”

–Wonderland

“A glorious concoction of 70s groove, falsetto vocals, on-point harmonies, and utterly sublime sonics.”

–1883 Magazine

ABOUT RIO KOSTA:

The sound of RIO KOSTA, aka Mike Del Rio & Kosta Galanopoulos, echoes much of their respective heritages – with Kosta’s Greek background further flavoured by time in the Bahamas, and Mike being inspired by his Spanish and Italian roots, his time growing up in New York, and especially revisiting his identity following the passing of his Puerto Rican grandmother. Just as their music breaks free from genre constraints, their journey crosses borders without the need for a metaphorical passport. You could visualise them lost in the moment as day drifts to night at Coachella, like spiritual cousins to Khruangbin, but you could just as equally imagine them amidst the psychedelic haze of the original Woodstock.
