Phil Cosby - Blue Daze
Regular price
£10.00
Limited 180 Gram Vinyl. Based in London but raised on a farm in Wicklow, Ireland, Phil Cosby’s songwriting has led him to work with an array of world-class musicians. Having teamed up with studio legend Phill Brown (The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix), and acclaimed drummer / producer Malcolm Catto (DJ Shadow, Madlib), he releases Blue Daze, Cosby's most exciting project to date. A breathtakingly emotive record, sees Cosby effortlessly drawing on late 70s / early 80s youth nostalgia, resulting in a truly immersive soundscape. Collectively the five tracks juxtapose themes of hope and loss over powerful, melodic rhythms. He details the EP: “I took inspiration from the Tangerine Dream track – Love On A Real Train, heard in the 80s movie Risky Business. The track’s evocative and unique quality sparked my interest in nostalgia, and the idea that this emotion in music, might be more than just a ‘time and place’ association personal to the listener – that certain music has in itself a nostalgic quality.”
