NUN in a KAYAK - Cosmic Bos (Official Lyric video) - A Palindrome song

 Hello friends,

https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos - check out our link tree for all your Cosmic Bos needs. 

You are here for the Nun though right? Well here you go.


NUN in a KAYAK - From Cosmic Bos Virtual Normality 2 EP

Findable on Bandcamp right here right now


Nun in a Kayak was originally written for the Music Weeklies hashtag challenge on Twitter, for the hashtag Palinloop, or Palindrome. The song is full of Palindromes, it hasn't got all of the ones in existence, because I couldn't work out how to get a Racecar into the story without ruining the calm imagery of a Nun in a Kayak.

The central song on our new EP, and one we did live at our annual gig (but the video isn't quite up to scratch so you won't get to see it), it will get another airing later this year on Bos Live #2 (2022) - oh yeah, SPOILER ALERT! We are doing another Live album. (in fact, it's already recorded, just needs some Nick tweaking magic) which we are planning to drop on Christmas Day (25th of December for any non-Crizzies). 

We also have our Best of Season 4, which, Spoiler Alert, contains this Nun and Kayak based song, we considered it one of the best of the year. That will be with you even sooner than the aforementioned Spoiled Live album, around the 10th of December we recon. Just got some eyes to dot and some teas to cross. It has been a great year, and we look forward to staring up our own bumholes and talking about how amazing we are, but also all the actual amazing people we got to work with this year. Spoiler Alert! it's been the best year of Bos yet.

So, that's where we's at. A couple more videos to come before the year is done, until then, let's have some cake, or wine, or both, or neither, whatever you want, have it.

If you like your videos Tubed up for you, then here is the handy Bos embedded YouTube link

Virtual Normality 2 - Cosmic Bos Music Podcast Special Presentation

 Hello fellow passenger on Spaceship Earth,

Welcome to the blog that goes with the podcast about Cosmic Bos's new EP Virtual Normality 2


 Here's a linktree you can take shelter under https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos

You have reached the hub of the Cosmic Bos multiverse and begin your journey down the second of our Virtual Normality tours. Last time, we explored Space with Babies, chilled out, stayed inside and then ended with a birth. 

So a year later, Cosmic Bos have decided to take you on a different journey. For this year (2022) has been an exploration of songwriting, in it's many varied forms, as well as Cosmic Bos collaborating with other types of musicians to explore music further.

Back in August '22, Andy started taking part in a weekly music challenge that is run primary from Twitter, where each week a hashtag is set and you have one week to make an original piece of music on theme (big thanks to Trench Gun for hooking us in).

To start with Andy didn't take it very seriously, but a few weeks in it was becoming exciting trying to write the best song possible within the very loose restrictions.

So play along with the episode and try and Guess the Hashtag to 4 of the songs, and be WOW'ed by False Promises (Cosmic Bos Mix) by Andrew Hartshorn ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun. The move towards orchestration is a spoiler alert for next year.

We will do a proper blog about our live shenanigans once all the videos from the festival have been released, but it was a banging day for sure, and so nice to get to play some of these songs in front of an audience.

Here's our link tree for all your Cosmic Bos needs (where if you snoop you can find some of the aforementioned live footage already)

Morning Coffee by Cosmic Bos - from our new EP Virtual Normality 2

 Good morning wherever you are,

First thing in the mourning I always turn to the bean for a smooth kickstarter blend to get the day going...

Here's a lyric video to illustrate that point. it's from our podcast which you can find on our link tree here

https://linktr.ee/cosmicbos


Taken from our new EP Virtual Normality 2 which you can find on bandcamp here https://cosmicbos.bandcamp.com/album/virtual-normality-2

Amazing cover art by Gecko
Originally written as part of the Music Weeklies Hashtag challenge on Twitter, (the hashtag being #MorningCoffee) I (Andy) felt pretty confident that Nick could help me turn this acoustic little ditty into a full blown morning banger, which he most certainly did.

The first of 4 hashtag challenge songs on the EP, as well as a special remix by Cosmic Bos of the awesome False Promises by Andrew Hartshorn (ft. Natalie Williams Calhoun) with a vocal by Cosmic Bos and some extra instrumentation too.

Here's the Youtube version


And the link to the whole darn record on the tube.


Full podcast breakdown of the EP coming sooner than soon.

Have a day everyone, love you lots

Peace and infinite love (see! told you I loved ya lots)

Virtual Normality 2 - Cosmic Bos New EP OUT NOW!

 Hello fellow traveller on Spaceship Earth,

Welcome to the blog, here you will find music by Cosmic Bos

Released 11/11/22 was Virtual Normality 2 - Cosmic Bos's new 5 track EP


Purchasable from the very link above

5 new songs, 4 of which come from the Music Weeklies Hashtag challenge on Twitter, 1 which is a Cosmic Bos mix of a phenomenal song by Andrew Hartshorn. 

Last year we made Virtual Normality as a statement of where we intended to take Cosmic Bos in the future, and as a template for what we have done this year (2022) it worked out nicely, plus it had an awesome cover done by iamGecko. 

So as we reach the ending of 2022 we wanted to honour where our direction seems to be going, with the tail end of '22 having been music challenge time (much like the first half of the year was), and developing deeper musical connections with fellow artists, and becoming more involved in the musical community on the interweb thanks to The Album Writing Club and Music Weeklies, as well as Nick having another baby (Outer Space Jazz) and Theo growing up fast (Space Baby Classic), as well as the world crumbling apart around us all, it's seemed only prudent to do a sequel to Virtual Normality. 

So we tweaked the colours of the cover, added a big 2 and slapped 5 songs on it just like the first. 

Here's the YouTube playlist embedded - please like, share and subscribe if you are a tuber


And it's all over Spotify and other online music prisons


Nick and I (Andy) will do a proper podcast to go along with the album, with us talking all about the tracks, but we've had to postpone it's recording so we can take part in the Off the Records Music Festival at the Brunswick in Hove tomorrow (12th November), hopefully we'll get a bit of video footage to share with you from it.

After the podcast for VN2 we will look to close the year off with a Best of (as is now tradition) and a Live acoustic album of songs from the year.

We are deep in planning for next year too, going to revamp the podcast a bit, give it a new focus, more to follow.

Morning Coffee video to follow too

Thanks for being awesome

Peace and infinite air miles

Hurricane Came - Cosmic Bos (Official Music Video)

 Hello lovely friend,

How are you today? Good I hope


Hurricane Came by Cosmic Bos

Taken from our album 2 A.M, it's Mission Time

Available in all good bookstores

And on bandcamp - Bandcamp Album Link


This is the 10th video released from our album that we made in a month. This was also one of the first songs written, as it was an improv squared piece of music that we were already developing at the time the competition started. The lyric was born from some improvised silliness in the van on the way to a radio interview. 

Please like, share and subscribe

And comment too, we love you

Also check out our youtube for plenty of other musical video stuff that doesn't come in podcast form
