Back with a big bang – HELLO COSMOS – begin 2024 with a flurry of activity.
Confirming two headline shows and new singles next month, the electroclash / psych-rock cosmonauts are also revealing plans for a brand-new studio album – due out later this year.
Their first full-band album since 2021’s acclaimed debut ‘Dream Harder’, the collective will be teasing its lead singles “Turn Off The News” and “The Hot Seat” in the coming weeks.
Keeping busy in the interim years with a unique mixtape project (2021’s ‘Golden Dirt’) and a remix album (2023’s ‘Hard Dirt’), their oeuvre to date has seen them working with over 50 collaborators and counting.
Now planning to showcase selections from their complete canon at their first live outings since 2019, Hello Cosmos will be staging a pair of unmissable comeback shows this February. Hosted in the band’s current base of Stockport, with an additional show in London the following week, fans can expect a “one-off immersive live show featuring music and guests from the Hello Cosmos universe”.
Speaking about the upcoming shows and the year ahead, Ben Robinson of Hello Cosmos says:
“It’s incredible that St Mary’s is hosting shows and we will be debuting our new live show with material from our next record, written in Stockport over the last few years. It tracks the trials and tribulations of the dark days we’ve all seen and the potent feelings of unity, friendship and love that were supercharged by those times. We couldn’t imagine a better place to return to the live stage and speak our truths than Stockport’s St Mary’s… it’s time to begin again.”
Performing as a sextet, the line up for these limited live shows will feature the familiar faces of Ben Robinson (vox/guitars), Simon Robinson (drums), Adrian Ingham (guitar), Angela Chan (violin/synth), as well as welcoming live debuts from new members Elara (sax/vox) who notably appeared on the ‘Golden Dirt’ mixtape, plus Isaac Dobbo (percussion) of fellow Cosmic Glue labelmates Vacant Weekend.
