Cosmo Jarvis – Chapter TwoCosmo Jarvis – Chapter Two

“Mel's Song” starts off sounding like an upbeat Penate number, and then suddenly accquires a crude vocal that talks about body odour and boners and this and that and eurgh, I'm sick of it. It's another tune which is really well recorded, and musically, it's a simple alternative indie backing and it works really well. Even the vocal tone itself I could deal with. But the lyrics just make me want to be sick. It's trying to be funny and failing, mainly due to the obviousness of their choices of words. Instead of being cleverly written, it's far too schoolboy and encourages one cringe too many.

It isn't until the third and final track “Little Wasted Angel” that you see what the opener could have been. A more serious song, but it's fairly melodic and just quite nice to listen to. Relaxing, raw sounding, very campfire. And a couple of little vocal harmonies come in, oh it's delightful.

But this one track cannot account for the first track, nor unfortunately can it account for the oddly placed, wonky-electro second track, “He Only Goes Out On Tuesdays,” a mis-matched six minutes of grimey electro rap, which is really hard to listen to. It's too in your face, they need to officially chill the fuck out, stop trying to sound 'dark,' and focus on the type of music they can actually do.

1.5/5
