The astonishing twenty-one tracks on Cosmo Sheldrake‘s forthcoming album, Eye To The Ear, range from celebratory anthems to soulful elegies to irresistible dance numbers. Animated by themes of interconnection and symbiosis, Cosmo’s expansive musical imagination is rooted in practices of listening – both to human and more-than-human sound worlds. Eye To The Ear, Cosmo’s most accomplished creation to date – as producer, composer, performer and songwriter – makes it clear that the living world is a noisy and musical place with the power to change the way we think, feel, and imagine.
Cosmo is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, accomplished live improviser, and field recordist from London who started playing the piano at the age of four. Since his first single ‘The Moss’ (2014), Cosmo has built a large audience of dedicated listeners. A series of successful EPs, ‘Pelicans We’ (2015), ‘Do’ (2021), and ‘Wild Wet World’ (2023) have fueled viral social media successes.
