Cosines - Commuter Love

Facts 2014 release, the debut album from the London-based Indie band. OSCILLATIONS charts the ups and downs, the instability of relationships, misguided hook-ups and 'subsequent break-ups. The matter-of-fact blunt Yorkshire styling's of songwriter Alice Hubley's lyrics tell it like it is, and the resulting tone is one of relief more than sadness. Simon Nelson's songwriting contributions to the album - Lookout Mountain Drive and Stalemate - complement Hubley's songs perfectly and bring a second perspective to the scene. Peppered with luscious synth tones this is music for modern happy robots. The album was recorded and produced by the band in Wood Green at Simon's own Klank Studio, using a variety of instruments and electronic trickery including marimba, autoharp, theremin and cranky old Moog and Roland synths. The album features guest turns from spiritual members Gabe Saucedo (Still Flyin', Red Pony Clock) and Gary Olson (The Ladybug Transistor), who phoned in their recordings from across the pond.
