Cosmo Sheldrake – Come Along

| Cosmo Sheldrake - Come Along |
Release Date: Out Now
It feels like the superb Cosmo
Sheldrake has been knocking around for a while now without every making that
incisive move in to the mainstream consciousness but with an album due in the
Spring of 2018 and this new song he might just be on the cusp of something. ‘Come
Along’ is, as ever, wonderfully eccentric as our multi-instrumentalist hero
tackles 10 different instruments to create a tune that should adorn the soundtrack
to Stranger Things or some Christmas Special adaptation of a fringe Roald Dahl
piece as directed by Tim Burton. Walking in the staggering footsteps of Gilbert,
Lemon Jelly, Gideon Conn, Malka and Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer, Sheldrake is an
absolute master of the theatrical and mixes modern, up-tempo beats with more
classical instruments to create a swirl of notes and emotions that is sublime.
Alt-J have done well this kind of eccentricity but do they write songs about catching
Heffalumps and attaching arm-bands to your legs? I think not.
