Hey Cosmos preserve it pressing and impressed with their new EP, Maintain Digging. Andy Brown spreads some noisy positivity for Louder Than Warfare.
Over the course of quite a few releases, Manchester’s Hey Cosmos have filtered ample parts of anger and inspiration by means of an eclectic array of noisy alt-rock and playful experimentation. Headed up by multi-instrumentalist Ben Robinson, the venture is simply as comfy releasing an LP of forward-thinking post-punk as it’s unveiling an album of eclectic remixes. That sense of creativity and enjoyable actually hasn’t deserted them with their newest EP, Maintain Digging.
By no means one’s to draw back from a daring opening assertion, Flip Off the Information proclaims the band’s return with a reassuring sense of function. “Don’t let billionaires persuade you you’re poor ‘cos of people who reside subsequent door,” sings a fiery-eyed Robinson over noisy guitars and galloping drums. The latter supplied by his brother in arms – and literal brother – Simon. Maybe greater than ever, the singer’s lyrics hit the nail decisively on the top. Sure, we’re taking a look at you Mr. Murdoch.
Recorded throughout an absinthe-fuelled session together with his brother-in-law, Use the Instruments finds Robinson and Hey Cosmos at their most direct. A name to harness the facility of our digital units; the tune is a breathless, heavy and completely exhilarating barnstormer. Inebriated but clearly impressed; the observe goes for straight the jugular. The title observe is an ominous and pummelling piece of fuzz-laden rock; Robinson delivering an actual ribcage rattler of a bassline as Adrian Ingham and Angela Chan set the guitars and strings to spooky. Intense, darkish and fairly in contrast to the rest within the band’s repertoire.
Pores and skin finds an impassioned Robinson pleading for the one he adores over some mighty positive post-punk clatter. The entire thing comes throughout like a extra angsty Way forward for the Left. Butterfly Wing (Flip It On) brings the EP to an eclectic shut with some widescreen psych-rock and a easy plea to, “personal your personal time and personal your personal thoughts.” As all the time, the message cuts by means of the noise like a neon-lit epiphany. All of it begins right here people.
With the world like it’s, it’s good to have Hey Cosmos on the market, venting their spleens and delivering songs with all of the conviction and power of an activist on a march. Actually, nobody does noisy positivity higher than these guys. Even the title of the EP appears like a rallying cry: preserve digging my associates, preserve digging.
