Utrecht-based sound artist Cosmo V steps up with her debut EP and first proper physical release, No Name Street.
While still in the infancy of her recording career, she emerges with a fully-fledged vision, with four tracks of warm fuzzy simplicity. Inspired by bands and artists like Nirvana, Mazzy Star, Nico and PJ Harvey, as much as the blazing verse of poets like Charles Bukowski and Jim Carroll, Cosmo V holds the purity of the song in higher regard than pristine production values.
No Name Street collects four tracks of her unique lo-fi pop, mixing drum loops, live percussion and cheap microphones, into immersive stories that touch the soul. Springy bass lines weave their way through Cosmo’s sonic jungle, providing the foundation for her dreamy vocals to float over the top. Originally studying cultural heritage and graduating as a restorator, Cosmo found herself drawn to computers and found producing her own songs a much better expression of her artistic endeavors.
While she enjoys a certain anonymity, cutting her face from the EP cover that she designed herself, the vision behind No Name Street is stronger for it.
No Name Street is by the people, for the people, a wide-eyed harbinger of inner city love and all its consequences.
Cosmo V's debut EP, No Name Street is available now via Rush Hour.
