I Am the Cosmos – new single and launch gig this weekend
01. Ross Turner and Cian Murphy are Dublin electronic duo I Am the Cosmos.
02. 2013’s debut album Monochrome was an impressive statement of intent, and made off with Nialler9’s Album of the Year. They’ve kept appearances scarce since, but have signed a publishing deal with magnates Faber Music.
03. Streaming above is the band’s new single Letting It Go, released earlier this month via Happy Valley Records digitally and on 7″.
04. Launch show goes down tomorrow night at the Bello Bar in Dublin. Support from Padraig Moore and a DJ set from the good folk behind culture blog/collective This Greedy Pig. A tenner in, tickets available here.
Verdict: Minimal, yet spacey electronica with a stern-faced, almost post-punk sensibility.
Or you may not..
Eh, why am I in moderation…
No idea.
I was being nice to Frilly and all today..
Can you take me out of it please?
I’m only the music lad, but I’ll inform my fellow agenda-pushers post-haste.
Thanks.. I slagged off Karl before for the tight suits.. it might be him.
Say it to Bodger..
unless it’s bodger this time.. Bodger!!
how can you tell when you’re in moderation?
You go on a naughty list.. and your comments are reviewed first.
The like the girls to be nice. The fellas can get away with murder.
They
Sure we do Anne :)
I get deleted and moderated a fair bit in fairness.
Oh I don’t mind them moderating comments, changing naughty words to poopy and silly billy, or deleting stuff.. but all my comments are withheld for some reason, since the Soc Dec Frilly thread..
Was I particularly harsh there or something? I got a reply moronic from one commenter.. who I presume is not in moderation.
I get this now –
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Some possible reasons for this are:
First time posting with this email address
More than two links
You’ve triggered our crude filter and a human needs to look at it.
You’re on Santa’s naughty list
Note that we’re not online 24/7 so your comment may not be approved for a little while.
We’re all getting them at present, no idea what’s up but the proper authorities are in the war-room strategising as we type. Hang tight.
Anne, you’re not being moderated at all.. It’s a site-wide issue. We’re dealing with it now. Very sorry
Thanks Bodger.. my apologies.
I can go back to taking lumps outta Frilly so. Yipeee.
Problem is site-wide, the drones are being sent in to firebomb our servers and enable a rebuild as we speak.
Oh sorry.. nevermind.. Thanks. Conniption over. :)
That was a lovely tune too.. thanks. :)
And here’s me thinking this music post had taken off…
Yeah, me too.
Can we just put a complete ban on Anne making any comments from now on?
Lad I hope you read this. It is constructive criticism.
There are two ways of writing a dance track. I spent a couple of years at it myself. One is to start at percussion and then layer synths or samples which is fine but usually doesn’t produce a strong medley. This is classic beats up which leaves a singer doing the audio equivalent of picking their nose.
The other is to write a song. Good medley and chord changes then shift it into the 4*4 beat. IMO a couple of the London Grammar mixes are way better than the originals and knock spots off nearly everything else in a mix, and I listen to a lot of them.
Exhibit A: Rae Morris by Clean Bandit. Not your genre but makes the point.

You obviously haven’t seen these guys live or heard their album Monochrome. If you had, you’d realise they really don’t require your constructive criticism.
