Cosmo's Midnight - Yesteryear (2020)

Australian duo Cosmo's Midnight break down their fun and danceable new album 'Yesteryear.'

Australian indie-electronic-pop duo Cosmo’s Midnight has released their sophomore album Yesteryear. Held together by a breeze blend of disco and funk, they collab with the likes of Ruel, LA-based collective Age.Sex.Location & Matthew Young on the record for some sonic diversity with some R&B vocals and pop sheen.

The album opens with a bang with “Unwind” and the title track, going for big disco hooks. It draws you into its cheerful embrace for whatever you might be celebrating right now or for a pick-me-up. However, it does settle down a bit for some smoother jams towards the end of the record, while never losing focus on their goal of creating a fun and danceable LP. As the first track would suggest, this is an album meant to unwind and that is what we would use right now.

To get some more information about how this record came together, we asked the twin musicians (Cosmo & Patrick) to do a Director’s Cut feature. They detail how the collaborations came together and the stories behind these tracks.
