Anyone thirsty for a sound that’s classic New York reinvented, should check out Cosmonaut. The band carries a torch for acts like Television and The Strokes, (they were even featured on ‘Occupy This Album’ alongside Patti Smith!), while bringing shades of dreamy (and more British leaning) pop shoe-gazery along for the ride. It’s an ecstatic, melodic high that’ll reconnect you to a New York before John Varvatos took over CBGB’s, and at once transport you the (hopefully) warmer months ahead. The project of guitarist/singers, Fordham classmates Jack Manley and Daniel Quinn, Cosmonaut has been together since 2009, and is about to release its second EP (‘Radio Silence’) this April. Check out the trippy video for the title track below, and catch them at the first date of their Piano’s April residency: next Tuesday, April 8th at 10pm. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
