EDINBURGH ● Citrus Club
w/ Naam, Bacchus Barracus
"Unfortunately due to the show running slightly behind schedule, we don’t get nearly enough of The Cosmic Dead‘s meandering psych explorations, but what we do get is a short but sweet set of woozily pulsating rhythms and ever-evolving eastern-tinged melodies.
The reverb-drenched one song set ‘Khartomb’ holds the whole crowd captive, with everyone powerless to resist its swaying groove. Vocal duties are handled by all members bar the drummer, with each vocalist becoming lost in thrall to the continuously morphing momentum of the jam.
The exploratory tendrils of the band’s expansive space rock don’t get the opportunity to reach far enough into the substance-addled minds of the crowd, but the beauty of such a loose improvisational set is that they’re able to wrap things up nicely without harshing anyone’s vibe too much. Hopefully I get the chance to witness a full mind-melting set from these psychedelic space lords sometime soon." - The Sleeping Shaman
