Cosmo Sheldrake
An English multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer, Cosmo Sheldrake's penchant for crafting quirky, loop-driven sound collages, inspirational and often nonsensical lyrics, and recording found objects in unusual environments invokes They Might Be Giants by way of Syd Barrett. Operating with a kitchen sink-style musical arsenal that includes banjo, loop station, keyboards, double bass, drums, penny whistle, sousaphone, and accordion, just to name a few, Sheldrake's musical journey has been one of innovation and idiosyncrasy. He released his debut full-length album, The Much Much How How and I, in 2018 and continued pushing the boundaries of Baroque pop and folktronica on subsequent efforts Wake Up Calls (2020) and Eye to the Ear (2024). Sheldrake has not only performed regionally and internationally, touring as a solo artist and supporting like-minded pop provocateurs like Johnny Flynn, the Sussex Wit, and the Gentle Mystics, but also composed music for film and theater, showcasing his versatility and talent.
Born in London to parapsychologist Rupert Sheldrake and voice teacher Jill Purce -- his brother Merlin is a successful author and biologist -- Sheldrake's music career began in earnest in 2013 after traveling to New York City to perform at a TEDx event and later studying vocal improvisation with Bobby McFerrin. He released his debut single, "The Moss," a year later on Transgressive Records. His debut EP, Pelicans We, arrived the following year. 2018 saw the release of his first long-player, The Much Much How How and I, which included the charting single "Come Along," featured in an advertisement for Apple's iPhone in the U.S. and U.K. Two years later, he issued Wake Up Calls, a set of songs composed from field recordings of endangered British birds. Sheldrake paid homage to the ocean on the 2023 EP Wild Wet World and parsed the "urgency and possibilities of our times" on 2024's full-length Eye to the Ear.
