Stupid Cosmonaut’s latest album is a three track live affair, recorded during a spell at The White Hotel, Salford (North West England, near Manchester – NB not in Manchester…). It was an collaboration was visuals from Nicole Prior which we obviously don’t have on this review! (Oh ye of little faith – Ed)
There is one short track of synth-led sound plus two longer ones, the first a slow electronic instrumental which sounds equal parts Tangerine Dream and Mogwai, the other a 12 minute meandering into narrative plus sound effects. We are talking about space, the world, the universe etc, and everything, man, and it sounds pretty good.
Straight outta Bury, (also in North England), the Stupids (or the Cosmonauts!) are doing it their way, and all the better for it.
