Kosmetika Announce Luxury LP
After getting a couple albums in the bag, Kosmetika have begun to work as a collective as opposed to their earlier days as a duo (with a band supporting); this has culminated in the completion of their latest record, Luxury, which features input from all five members, stretching their sound. Today, there’s a new single coming across the ocean, and it’s riding a wave of what will likely get pigeonholed as modern shoegaze. Sure, there are waves of noise battering your speakers, but there’s something deeper and more seductive. Veeka’s vocal work feels almost as if it’s nodding to radio pop of the late 80s/early 90s, kind of coy and spoken, though moments sneak out where she completely embraces the melody. It’s really an amalgam of influences, illustrating the band’s newfound cohesiveness…this only bodes well for Luxury, which drops on July 12th via Spoilsport.
