I don’t have to do anything more than read the name of the album to have the chorus of the title-track stuck in my head, and it’s a reminder that although the Nottingham troupe put so much into their progressive style and vocal harmonies and arrangements, and a more conceptual theme in the case of Everybody’s Going to Die — their answer to 2018’s excellent Science Fiction — their roots are in songcraft, and it’s the foundation of songcraft that lets them soar. Would be higher on the list if it weren’t so new.
Church of the Cosmic Skull are not only one of the most exciting rock bands in the world today, but also an ever-growing spiritual organization, spreading the light of the Cosmic Rainbow across this planet and beyond.
The combination of Hammond organ, electric cello, guitar, bass, drums and six-part vocal harmony completes the 7 piece psych-prog-pop-rock powerhouse. Fans of ELO, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Deep Purple et al have been waiting for a new torch-bearer since the late 70s: the wait is over.
Brought together by songwriter Bill Fisher, the group features some of the best musicians in the universe:
Amy Nicholson – Electric Cello & Vocals;
Loz Stone – Drums;
Sam Lloyd – Bass & Vocals;
Jo Joyce – Vocals;
Caroline Cawley – Vocals
