Hello friends,

Stop Saying 1984 to Make a Point by Cosmic Bos

From our Judges Choice Award Winning Album

https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/2-a-m-its-mission-time

This song is about how people often quote and use the ideas presented in the text of 1984 by George Orwell, to make a point, which ultimately just reveals that the person saying it has not read or understood the text they are quoting, and ironically furthering some of the more alarming elements of the text. Probably not the sort of thing someone should write a song about as it is quite meaningless, but, Cosmic Bos did it, and here it is.

Hello you,

Nice to see you here, how's it going?

In 2022, Nick and Andy worked on some really fun, exciting projects, and it seemed fitting to close out the year with a little acoustic performance of a selection of the years songs made by Cosmic Bos.

Also, the boys did a cover of a Dan Wilson song, Dancing on the Moon, which was Baby Theo's favourite song on the year (he made us play it to him lots and lots). There had been plans for a whole 'Dan Wilson' special, but alas, time got the better of us and the idea has been put back on the shelf to be revisited at a later date (WE LOVE YOU DAN WILSON - you are an inspiration)

False Promises (Cosmic Bos Mix) - Andrew Hartshorn ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun, vocalled and remixed by Cosmic Bos

Taken from Cosmic Bos Virtual Normality 2

False Promises is originally a song on Andrew Hartshorn's album Movie House, which featured Natalie Williams Calhoun's sublime Cello playing. Cosmic Bos liked the song, so Andy wrote lyrics and a melody, recorded it with Nick, sent it to Andrew, and then Nick added Bass and Drums (and a couple of other things), and we called it a Bos Mix.

Video shot on a rainy day by Andy out of his front room window.

Available on all good internet platforms, you might even find it in the meta verse, but if you like bandcamp then we suggest this link right here

Hello friends,

Cosmic Bos present to you Nun in a Kayak

From their new EP -

Virtual Normality 2

https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos

This song was written for the Music Weeklies challenge on Twitter, for the hashtag PalinLoop (which was about Palindromes andLoops), and was subsequently rerecorded by Nick and Andy to be part of Virtual Normality 2 (Bandcamp Link)

The song is littered with Palindromes, not all of them, but quite a lot of them.

Welcome fellow traveller,

Here's a linktree you can take shelter under https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos

You have reached the hub of the Cosmic Bos multiverse and begin your journey down the second of our Virtual Normality tours. Last time, we explored Space with Babies, chilled out, stayed inside and then ended with a birth.

So a year later, Cosmic Bos have decided to take you on a different journey. For this year (2022) has been an exploration of songwriting, in it's many varied forms, as well as Cosmic Bos collaborating with other types of musicians to explore music further.

Back in August '22, Andy started taking part in a weekly music challenge that is run primary from Twitter, where each week a hashtag is set and you have one week to make an original piece of music on theme (big thanks to Trench Gun for hooking us in).

To start with Andy didn't take it very seriously, but a few weeks in it was becoming exciting trying to write the best song possible within the very loose restrictions.

So play along with the episode and try and Guess the Hashtag to 4 of the songs, and be WOW'ed by False Promises (Cosmic Bos Mix) by Andrew Hartshorn ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun. The move towards orchestration is a spoiler alert for next year.

Full track listing for Virtual Normality 2

1. Morning Coffee
2. Burning Rings of Power
3. Nun in a Kayak
4. False Promises (Cosmic Bos Mix) - Andrew Hartshorn ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun
5. Spaceship Earth

Hurricane Came by Cosmic Bos

Taken from our album 2 A.M, it's Mission Time

Available in all good bookstores

And on bandcamp - Bandcamp Album Link

This is the 10th video released from our album that we made in a month. This was also one of the first songs written, as it was an improv squared piece of music that we were already developing at the time the competition started. The lyric was born from some improvised silliness in the van on the way to a radio interview.

Andrew Hartshorn Special

False Promises Bandcamp Link - False Promises

The original version of this song is from Movie House by Andrew Hartshorn (ft. Natalie Calhoun) which was his entry to the #albumwritingclub Bandcamp Link - Movie House

I (Andy) wrote a lyric for it and recorded it with Nick. We sent it to Andrew and he did the above with it. We will release our own Cosmic Bos Mix of the song next month as part of our new EP.

Quilt Bandcamp Link - Quilt (Orchestral Version)

The original version of Quilt is from our entry to the #albumwritingclub and features Joe Philogene on Ngoni. Probably the most beautiful song on our record, the Orchestrally enhanced version by Andrew Hartshorn adds a whole new layer.

Hear the original and buy our entry here Cosmic Bos Bandcamp

So we chat for a bit, go off on a few tangents jas per usual, but hopefully we got all the important info in. Check out Andrew Hartshorn on all media, and his label Monochrome Motif

Here's his YouTube link YouTube Link for Andrew Hartshorn

Lots more to come in the future from Andrew Hartshorn and Cosmic Bos, we have an album in the works which is more in line with False Promises rather than Quilt. Can't wait to share it with you all. We have a new EP next month, and a couple more music videos from our last album to drop (watch this space)
