It would seem that, after millennia, the insidious songs of sirens are still being raised: Athenians Cosmic Shadows, with their eponymous debut album, weave an inextricable Ariadne's thread. Intersidereal, kaleidoscopic guitars beckon us into daydreams, but collide with fuzz, biting bass and vocals that are at once stoic, caustic and plaintive. At the same time, as if plunged into an Escherian diplopia, the journey is juicy, lysergic and perilous. A game of variations well worth the candle.
Armed with a killer bass/drums beat, fuzztone guitars and snotty vocals and informed by the garage-psych sounds of the ‘60s and beyond, Cosmic Shadows make their full-length debut for Sound Effect Records! The Athens, Greece band was founded in 2017 by main man, singer/songwriter Jon Mitropoulos, having released 2 singles, “Green Skin” (February 2020) and “I am Dead” (April 2020), and establishing an ever-growing and loyal fan base. Their self-titled debut album is filled with groovy beats and lysergic leads, highlighting Jon’s emotive lyrics.
