COS-PLAYING A BANDCOS-PLAYING A BAND

“In my early twenties, I had a hard drive full of musical and lyrical ideas that I wanted to turn into songs,” Julian Calendar explains. “The problem was that I didn’t want to be in a band or play live.” So she hit on the idea of putting together a group who could flesh out, perform, and record her material. “I was looking for new ways to collaborate and subvert the traditional idea of a band. Most pre-fab acts are all about image and style, so I purposefully chose people who were older than me to front the band.”

One of the most interesting bands I’ve heard in a while. Leave it to Dennis to find it and share it with the world. Some of these songs feel like they could end up in the next Black Mirror. The lyrics are both hilarious and heartbreaking, because they’re so drab in that "too real" way, like the current state of the world for a lot of folks. Bleak, brutally honest, and completely out of f's to give.

My favorite album from this collection is Swimming Lessons.
