The band released their first album, Katonah, in October 2003 on spinART Records. The album was recorded in Katonah, New York in a barn which the band converted into a studio. It was well-received, earning 4/5 stars from Allmusic[7] and 7.2/10 from Pitchfork Media.[8] About their sound on the album The New York Times wrote that "bouncy 60's-style melodies crack wide open, breaking into outbursts of pummeling and feedback before jumping back into the tune. It's all neatly and cleverly plotted, but with a looming chaos that's anything but nostalgic."[9] While also touring with the band, Cohen continued to collaborate in studio with other artists.[6] 2005–2009: Breakthrough albums{{Main|Apollo Sunshine (album)|Shall Noise Upon}}In 2005 Apollo Sunshine released the EP titled The Other Side of the World. The band released their second full-length album Apollo Sunshine on spinART Records in September 2005. In November 2005, it was named to the Amazon.com Best of 2005: Editors' Picks in Rock list at number 5,[11] and the band was featured in Rolling Stone as an "Artist to Watch".[12] The album received mixed to positive reviews, with Paste Magazine giving it 4/5,[13] Pitchfork Media giving it 7.8/10,[14] and PopMatters giving it 6/10.[15] Shall Noise Upon is the 2008 album by Apollo Sunshine. It was released on vinyl and digital download on August 5, 2008. The record was recorded during the summer of 2007 in the Catskill Mountains, in a "house inhabited by spirits" and located next door to the home of the original Uncle Sam.[16] The album includes Edan, and White Flight as guests.[17] For the album the band received their highest score yet from Pitchfork Media, with 8.0/10.[18] Allmusic gave it 3.5/5.[19] The opening track, "Breeze", was featured near the end of the film Whip It, and appears on the movie soundtrack. The song "We Are Born When We Die", appeared on the TV show Breaking Bad, during the 12th episode of the fourth season. 2009–2014: Yellowbirds{{Main|Yellowbirds|The Color|Songs from the Vanished Frontier}}The band Yellowbirds was first formed in 2009 by Cohen as a solo project, shortly after the dissolution of Apollo Sunshine. Cohen began recording new music in his own bedroom studio.[20] With the assistance of friends on several tracks, he released several singles in 2010. In February 2011 he released his debut album The Color as Yellowbirds,[20] on Brooklyn indie label Royal Potato Family. It was well received by the majority of critics, with Ultimate Guitar calling the guitar work "magnificent."[22] Early members included George Lewis Jr on bass (leader of Twin Shadow), Wynne Bennett on keys (also Twin Shadow), Max Koepke on rhythm guitar and autoharp (Self Righteous Brothers) and Brian Geltner on drums. Later on, Cohen, drummer Brian Kantor, multi-instrumentalist Josh Kaufman, and bassist Annie Nero made up a new lineup which remained consistent until disbanding in 2014.[20] In 2012 Cohen began writing songs for the band's sophomore album Songs from the Vanished Frontier, primarily writing on acoustic guitar.[20] Released on May 5, 2013, it was also well received by critics, with Allmusic giving it 4/5 stars.[25] Eric Danton of Rolling Stone gave it a positive review, writing that "the new songs have a hazy summertime feel on arrangements that surround Cohen's reverb-soaked vocals with jangling guitars, propulsive basslines and lush string charts."[1] After playing a number of performances in the summer and fall of 2014, in locations such as Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Yellowbirds played their final show on November 1, 2014, at the Brooklyn venue Baby's All Right.[3] 2009–2014: Recent projects{{See also|The Complete Last Waltz}}As a session musician, Cohen has performed guitar on albums such as Norah Jones' The Fall in 2009.[28] Also in 2009, he contributed vocals, guitar, and bass to Sweetheart Rodeo by singer-songwriter Dawn Landes,[6] and in 2011 he produced the debut album by The Bandana Splits.[6] He played pedal steel guitar on Get Me Home, a 2012 album by Russ Irwin.[6] Cohen was the Musical Director for the concert The Complete Last Waltz in 2012 at The Warfield Theater and in 2013 at The Capitol Theatre. He remained as director through 2014, which featured artists such as Nels Cline, Cass McCombs, and members of Dr. Dog. {{ external media| align =right | video1 = [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObsMWQ9jJGo Yellowbirds "Rest Of My Life"], a video that took Cohen 10 weeks to complete[1] | video2 = [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OhD0v2dj_M "Rainsong" by Chad Stokes] }} In 2012, he was guitarist for The Bridge Session, a collaboration between The National and Grateful Dead's Bob Weir.

He released the first preview from the album, "Kepler 62", in November 2014 on Stereogum.[41] Hilly Dilly described "Kepler 62" as "partly psychedelic and partly retro, but there's also a sprinkle of cosmic vibes interspersed within."[42] Musical styleCohen's solo material and various collaborations are often described as psychedelic in nature, with Apollo Sunshine a "neo-psychedelic/indie rock trio."[43] According to Rolling Stone in 2013, Yellowbirds "mixes rock, folk and weird bits of R&B filtered through a psychedelic lens."[1] DiscographySolo materialAlbums
