about

Cosines return with their new EP, “Transitions”. As well as being the missing link between the band's debut LP and next year’s follow-up, the four tracks are all about change – with themes of starting over, moving on, making changes and reacting to unexpected events.

Opening track, Let's Start It Over, is the most personal, building over five minutes to a classic pop crescendo – coming soon to a dancefloor near you. Dunbar was written in angry response to the news that Cosines’ spiritual home, The Buffalo Bar, was to shut, and received its live debut at one of the final shows there. The song pays tribute to the latest of many vital small music venues forced to close due to property development, London's increasing gentrification and lack of arts support from government.

The EP also demonstrates a transition in the band's sound, introducing sonic explorations from the Krautrock grooves of Ra to the duelling saxophones of Chaos Theory and showcasing a more confident approach to songwriting from both singer/keyboard player Alice Hubley and multi-instrumentalist Simon Nelson.

Transitions is available on vinyl and download from shop.fikarecordings.com/album/transitions
