Is The World Strange

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Cosmo Jarvis is an artist for whom one word will never really be enough. He s a singer, a songwriter, an actor, a director, a composer, a producer and a multi-instrumentalist. He writes about topics ranging from alienation from religion to the equal treatment of gay pirates (and he s complete nearly three hundred songs already.)

After dropping out of school at sixteen, Cosmo released his self-titled debut album at age nineteen. Containing twenty one track spread across two discs, Cosmo s first album was to say the least an ambitious effort. If Cosmo Jarvis fizzled with ideas and an array of sounds, there is a greater degree of focus on its follow-up. Is The World Strange Or Am I Strange? . Yet Cosmo remains anything but predictable.

First single Gay Pirates is a poignant yet rousing story of two men whose forbidden love sees them forced to walk the plank. The song has already become a cult hit: with over 550,000 Youtube views and over 10,000 downloads, it has been lauded by the likes of Stephen Fry, 6 Music, XFM and the NME. Gay Pirates is the first taster of a complex, eclectic yet direct second album. On few records for instance, would you find the mix bluegrass rap-led funk and tender hip-hop featured on Is The World Strange Or Am I Strange?

Cosmo Jarvis is, as Brian Eno suggests, a new kind of artist. His interests and ambitions appear never-ending, and his contradictions observant yet naïve, outspoken yet introspective are a large part of his appeal. Cosmo is, quite simply, just Cosmo.
