Cosmograf releases a single song for Christmas. Exclusively distributed on Bandcamp, this unconventional Christmas song, is a wistful reflection on the pressures of maintaining damaged relationships at the time of the festive season.
All of the instruments on this record are played by Robin including the drums.
lyrics
A Festive Ghost
A walk along the winter coast,
A silent look at dawn.
I’m thinking of a festive ghost,
The year that it was born.
I’ve come to like the icy air,
I’ve come to like the snow.
I’ve come to like the festive cheer,
I’ve learned to let it go.
Waiting hearts, then truth imparts,
A sorrowful affair.
‘Twas Christmas time, a broken rhyme,
A purposeful despair.
We sailed away, to come what may,
Scattered to the ground.
Oooh, winter’s children come to stay, Ahh
Yes they do, winter’s children,
Come to stay, yes they do,
Just be near me,
Let’s start over.
Let’s break on through,
Just be near me,
Let’s break on through.

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
