Cosmo Sheldrake – Pliocene
Cosmo Sheldrake - Pliocene
Release Date: Out Now
If I thought it was impossible to
love the eccentric Cosmo Sheldrake more then I was wrong. Not only is he the
creator of off-kilter songs imbued with charm and beauty, he’s just released
‘Pliocene’ with a video of an intimate gig he did in the basket of a hot air
balloon. If I was to die tomorrow and had one wish for a final day out it would
be to go up in a hot air balloon and I think I would probably take Mr Sheldrake
with me. Anyway, my inadequate bucket list aside, ‘Pliocene’ is a typically
wonky and woozy number that would stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of
Gilbert or Lemon Jelly but it’s Sheldrake’s simultaneously bored and soulful
vocal that gives this such a unique energy. It’s an energy that works perfectly
with the footage of our hero gliding effortlessly above the streets, houses,
roads and ant-like people in his hot air balloon. Bliss.
