A Cosmic Year is the sound of an artist really finding their sound. If this new album has a rock base, and it does, it is one infused with psychedelic soundscapes and often venturing down into dark and doom-laden sonics. It can be euphoric and groovy, dark and downbeat, and is just as often straightforward and punchy as it is proggy and ornate. This is the sound of the alternative, the outsider, the liminal, the sort of music which has always walked its own path, a kaleidoscopic and trippy, adventurous and experimental path at that.
Yes, it is rock music, but rock music being pushed through every sonic border, rock music being fused with every neighbouring genre, rock music exploring what it can be, rock music on the outside track, rock music that unites the past with the present and points to a healthy future for the genre.
- Dave Franklin
