In tandem with the vinyl release of their new album today, HELLO COSMOS, are pleased to share the pivotal track “Black Gloss”.

“Black Gloss” is peeled fresh from the waxy 12” pressings of ‘COME OUT TONIGHT’, which hit the shelves today. With a straight-up chorus and synthetic groove destined to stick in the mind, the track is one of the most immediate to be found on the Manchester collective’s second album.

A coming-of-age anthem, of sorts, Ben Robinson explains of the track:

"It's a celebration of that moment growing up when you become alternative to escape the crowd and then the irony of realising everyone has done the same thing"

The fourth and final to emerge from a recent crop of singles which have included “Gig Buddies”, “Grind Into The Shrine”, and “FUK ZUK”, “Black Gloss” sits alongside all of the aforementioned on the band’s second official studio album ‘COME OUT TONIGHT’.

Already receiving a succession of warm plaudits. In a five-star review, Louder Than War praised “Angry, alive and out to inspire, Come Out Tonight stands as a loud and reassuringly bold offering from the ever-growing Hello Cosmos collective”. Elsewhere, Punktuation enthused “Ten years into their existence, the Manchester collective have never sounded better!”, whilst in a 4-star review Far Out Magazine hailed the record as “A shot of genre-fused adrenaline”.

Celebrating 10 years as a recording project, HELLO COSMOS have burst back into being with a flurry of new activity. Alongside new shows, sessions, and singles, arrives the release of ‘Come Out Tonight’, a brand new album.

Confirmed to feature over a long list of collaborators, the album takes influence from all corners of the globe with its studio recording sessions taking place in New York City, Los Angeles, Kampala, Leeds, Stockport and Manchester. Produced by Jamie Lockhart at Greenmount Studios in Leeds, who has produced all of their studio records to date, it arrives as Hello Cosmos’ first studio album proper in over 5 years, following their acclaimed debut ‘Dream Harder’ in 2020. Of the upcoming record, frontman Ben Robinson says:

“A lot of the upcoming record is about finding the strength to switch off digital screens and go out and live. It’s becoming more and more normalised to stay in, comatosed by ultraprocessed food and algorithms firing shallow dopamine hits, keeping us all hooked on a short wavelength, gradually becoming dumber, hopeless and unhealthy… We all need to wake each other up, get off the cool aid of digital apps, social media and algorithmic scrolling.”

Reappearing with a new look line-up, Hello Cosmos currently feature leader and creative force Ben Robinson (co-founder of Kendal Calling & bluedot) and his brother Simon (drums), and strings/synth maestro Angela Chan (Placebo / Lanterns on the Lake), performing alongside bassist/percussionist Isaac Dobson (Dobbo) and guitarist Alex Beston of Vacant Weekend, sax/synth whizz Frankie Pigeon (Dilettante/BC Camplight), and harmonica player Oli Brown (of Herelduke, who also notably produced Hello Cosmos’ ‘Golden Dirt’ mixtape).

While it may seem like aeons that the band have been away, behind the scenes Hello Cosmos have been fervently building their own studio, creative space & label: Cosmic Glue. With the fruits of their labours ripe and ready for revelation, new album ‘Come Out Tonight’ is just the beginning. With a further new album and a blissed-out “comedown album” also due for release in the imminent future, an intrepid new chapter for Hello Cosmos is upon us. Hold tight.
