NYC Funk as it should be: Cosmolingo plays Drom on 06.13

Cosmolingo might have some misgivings about New York’s modern trappings in their single ‘Breathe,’ but their sound escapes this dread entirely, by filling spaces like SOB’s and RBar to the brim with joy. Cosmolingo is a 7-piece filled with equal parts sax, synths, Adele-like backing vocals, and lead vocals from songwriter Les DuMouchel amp’ed straight from a telephone. It’s NY’s urban sprawl manifest through what might be the best jazzy-rockin-soulful-skankin-funkin-blues band around. Go party with Cosmolingo at Drom in the East Village on June 13. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets) – Cosmolingo submit their music digitally to The Deli here.
