Setting the tone with textured percussion and a vibrant, high octane guitar soundscape, Suburban Bicycle Gang open In The Cosmos with intrigue and dimensionality. We are captivated by rolling melodies as they form and reform around us, before atmospheric and charismatic vocals greets us with introspective prose with reference to situational and existential realities.
We appreciate the immersive and raw nature of the mix, which allows us to tap into the overall sentiment of the opus and each instrumental performance, as additional guitar riffs send us astral before our protagonist assures us, “It’s in the cosmos babe…”
With reference to the universe, we are drawn into the expansive reality that Suburban Bicycle Gang with their sonic architecture and lyrical depth. It feels like the band is channelling spirit to bring us this authentic and anthemic vibe. A wild and galactic guitar reverberates in our cerebellum for the finale, as we feel at one with the band, and indeed the cosmos.
We learn that In The Cosmos is also the title track for Suburban Bicycle Gang‘s upcoming album set to release this Spring. The band from Cambridge confess that the song is designed to explore “the vastness and mystery of the cosmos”, and it does just that and more.
We have added the transcendental composition to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate the band’s album later this year, and continue to stream Suburban Bicycle Gang‘s wider discography including their 2019 record, Softballs Are Too Hard.
