Cosmo Sheldrake Shares Two New Singles “Interdimensional” and “I Stitched My Mind Back To My Body” Upcoming Album Eye to the Ear Out April 12 on Tardigrade Records/FUGA

Credit: Jack Thompson-Roylance March 22, 2024 – Today, London-born Cosmo Sheldrake is sharing two new singles “Interdimensional” and “I Stitched My Mind Back To My Body", both of which will appear on his long-awaited second studio album Eye to the Ear, due out April 12 via Tardigrade Records.  The multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, accomplished live improviser and field recordist’s new singles follow the recently shared “Stop the Music” and “Does the Swallow Dream of Flying”, which surpassed a million streams within the first week, as well as “Old Ocean”. Watch the Official Live Video for “Interdimensional” Stream “Interdimensional” and “I Stitched My Mind Back To My Body” Pre-order Eye to the Ear On the new tracks, Cosmo says, “‘Interdimensional’ felt as though it came almost in one long thought, but it took about four all-night sessions for it to emerge. It is another one that came to me while on a solo musical retreat in Somerset. It is about the feeling of losing the normal sense of self, and features the wonderful HOWL.” “‘I Stitched My Mind Back To My Body’ was the first song I recorded from start to finish in my new studio. It started with me shuffling around stomping and clapping trying to find the best sweet spot on the floor for a good stomp. I like how much the sound of the space itself is present. It is a song about attempting to fuse the body and mind after centuries of unsuccessful attempts to prise them apart.” Eye to the Ear is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Cosmo's first full-length album, The Much Much How How and I (2018). A work of remarkable range and maturity, Eye to the Ear sees Cosmo move from soulful ballads arranged for a nine-piece female and non-binary choir (HOWL) to haunting polyphonic songs that have grown out of field recordings of curlews, whales, fish, and frogs, in a continuation of Cosmo’s dialogues with the rhythms and tones of the living world that he explored on Wake Up Calls (2020) and Wild Wet World (2023). Together, this album creates a journey that feels both vast and intimate as it ranges deftly between folk forms, jazz, electronic and experimental pop. Cosmo's musical humor is a welcome and ever-present companion. Eye to the Ear was produced by Cosmo and mixed by Dilip Harris (King Krule, Micachu, Mount Kimbie) and features 21 tracks combining traditional instrumentation, electronic production, and field recordings ranging from celebratory anthems to soulful elegies and irresistible dance numbers. Animated by themes of interconnection and symbiosis, Cosmo's expansive musical imagination is rooted in practices of listening – both to human and more-than-human sound worlds. Eye to the Ear, Cosmo's most accomplished creation to date – as producer, composer, performer and songwriter – makes it clear that the living world is a noisy and musical place with the power to change the way we think, feel, and imagine.
