Take it Easier - Cosmic Bos (Official cute baby music video)

 Hello friends,

So we made another music video, to go with our EP 'Virtual Normality' (which you can listen to in all good bookstores with wifi), this time to the song 'Take it Easier' (track 2 on the aforementioned EP), once again enlisting the A-List talents of Baby Theo, and this time persuading him to be all the musicians, and the singer, and the producer, basically do all our jobs for us. And, he did a wonderful jobs.


On the 18th of October, Baby Theo turned One Years old! and he is already writing and producing his own music, quite an achievement. But, this baby has been making music from before he was even born, with his heartbeat appearing on 'Ride Another Wave' from the Cosmic Bos EP 'Virtual Normality' (still available in all good coffee houses with wifi).

Utter legend that Theo, love him to bits.

This EP has been a fun adventure for Nick and myself (Andy), and we are very pleased with the result.

We are looking to take this one stage further next year with a full album of loveliness. 



Big thanks to New Music Saturday for spinning every track from our EP, concluding with 'Take it Easier' on Saturday 23rd October. They have been so supportive over the last few years and we are eternally grateful to them. Also big shout out to Texmex Shaman for his excellent guitar work on Stay Inside. 

Thanks for coming on this journey with us, we have some exciting stuff in store for the last couple of months of the year, so stay tuned.


The EP is available on Spotify right here

Cosmic Bos - Virtual Normality EP (Season 3 Special Presentation)

 So friends,

As has been customary during our time as podcasters, we here at Cosmic Bos have aimed to do something special presentationey every year of our show. In year 1 we did From the Vault which was a collection of music from Cosmic Bos's hard drives, in year 2 we did From the Songbook, a collection of songs we had written and then recorded live in Nick's living room, so for year 3 we have made an EP of 5 proper recordings for you. Cosmic Bos present, Virtual Normality...

1. Space Babies

2. Take it Easier

3. It's Always You

4. Stay Inside (ft. Texmex Shaman)

5. Ride Another Wave

Available on Spotify Virtual Normality on Spotify

For this special presentation, Nick and Andy sit down to discuss their EP, Virtual Normality, which they recorded over the summer of 2021 with the intention of it being their summer presentation. As is customary for Bos, it got a little delayed and finally came out on the 1st October. Not a problem though, it's not like they work to deadline or anything.

So the 5 songs of Virtual Normality all have a story around them, and this podcast explores them, as well as containing a Tea Review, discussion on what the rest of the year has in store for Cosmic Bos (hint, it's quite a bit), chatter about our upcoming gig on November 13th at the Brunswick in Hove, shout outs for New Music Saturday with Dr. Bones and Mike5, and extra special shoutouts to Texmex Shaman for providing the slick guitar work on Stay Inside.

Check him out on Spotify here Texmex Shaman on Spotify

Also, massive shout out to Gecko for the cover and back cover, he is an awesome artist and you should check him out, search iamgecko and marvel at the wondrous, the spectacular, the unbelievable art that he does.

Please subscribe to our shenanigans, and drop us a comment, we love to know what you think of our work, even if you think it stinks and we could do better, constructive criticism is better than no feedback. 

Here is the YouTube version of Space Babies video

PS. Here's the record on it's own without Nick and Andy waffling between the tunes

Space Babies - Cosmic Bos Virtual Normality version

 So friends,

From the podcast feed


Cosmic Bos Virtual Normality EP
Cover art by iamgecko
Space Babies (Virtual Normality version)

The opening track on Cosmic Bos's new EP Virtual Normality

This song began life as an improvisation from our 3rd improv album of this year 'Summadelica', with a video idea in place while we were shooting the video for Space Babies improv version. 

With the addition of the 1950's B Movie style intro, and the trimming of some of the music to fit it neatly into 4 minutes, Space Babies explores the concepts of life before life begins, were we all just Space Babies floating about before we came here to be Earth Babies? We like to think the answer is yes, and Baby Theo is attempting to return to that space, in some sense.

So come, marvel at the spectacular, the wondrous, the unbelievable... Babies...In....SPAAAACE!!!!!!

Here's the Youtube version


We have made a few TikTok promo's for the EP, focusing specifically on this song (to begin with, there are other songs prepped for later)


and...


Peace and infinite love

New 5 Track EP coming 1st October: Cosmic Bos - Virtual Normality

 Hello friends,

So we have been squirrelling away on an EP for the past few months, it started life as just a couple of singles we wanted to put out, but it evolved into the 5 track Virtual Normality that will be available to listen to on the 1st October 2021 (of course, it wouldn't be 2022 would it! that would be too far away to be announcing now).

Virtual Normality Cover by Gecko

The amazing cover was done by Gecko, check him out, he does awesome artwork for a variety of clientele, find him on instagram @i.am.gecko 

There are 5 tracks on it, opening with our reimagined version of Space Babies from our recent improvised sessions (complete with a new video coming with the EP), Take it Easier, It's Always You, Stay Inside (ft. Texmex Shaman), and finally Ride Another Wave.

Stay Inside was spun exclusively on New Music Saturday, you can hear it right here


We are really excited to share this with you, and it's been a long time since we recorded a proper record that wasn't in some way improvised. All these songs were written with pen and paper (and guitar obviously) and we hope they show you what we are capable of if given the time to make music.

We already have our next improvisation album recorded, it requires mixing and wisdoming, and that will be with you at the start of November, but for now it's time to get excited about Virtual Normality, take it away toys!

Peace and infinite love

Cosmic Bos
