“Interchangeable and organic with a life of its own.” – God Is In The TV
Celebrating 10 years as a recording project, HELLO COSMOS have burst back into being with a flurry of new activity. Alongside new shows, sessions, and singles, the band release ‘Come Out Tonight’, a brand new album. While it may seem like aeons that the band have been away, behind the scenes Hello Cosmos have been fervently building their own studio, creative space & label: Cosmic Glue. With the fruits of their labours ripe and ready for revelation, new album ‘Come Out Tonight’ is just the beginning. With two new records and a blissed-out “comedown album” also due for release in the imminent future, an intrepid new chapter for Hello Cosmos is upon us. Hold tight.

Come Out Tonight’ is the new album from Hello Cosmos. Their first studio album proper in five long years, the songs of ‘Come Out Tonight’ are united by recurrent messages of both urgency and hope, as the world we live in spirals beyond recognition. A record that rallies to reclaim love from the clasps of the corporate advertising machine, and idle mindspace from the deathly doomscroll of toxic digital spaces; these unconventional, electrifying, amorphous tracks are intended to invoke visceral feelings of real humanity, communal connection, and the unlimited possibilities of unprogrammed passion.
Confirmed to feature over a long list of collaborators, the album takes influence from all corners of the globe with its studio recording sessions taking place in New York City, Los Angeles, Kampala, Leeds, Stockport and Manchester. Produced by Jamie Lockhert at Greenmount Studios in Leeds, who has produced all of their studio records to date, it arrives as Hello Cosmos’ first studio album proper in over 5 years, following their acclaimed debut ‘Dream Harder’ in 2020. Of the record, frontman Ben Robinson says:
“A lot of the upcoming record is about finding the strength to switch off digital screens and go out and live. It’s becoming more and more normalised to stay in, comatosed by ultraprocessed food and algorithms firing shallow dopamine hits, keeping us all hooked on a short wavelength, gradually becoming dumber, hopeless and unhealthy… We all need to wake each other up, get off the cool aid of digital apps, social media and algorithmic scrolling.”
Reappearing with a new look line-up, Hello Cosmos currently feature leader and creative force Ben Robinson (co-founder of Kendal Calling & bluedot) and his brother Simon (drums), and strings/synth maestro Angela Chan (Placebo / Lanterns on the Lake), performing alongside bassist/percussionist Isaac Dobson (Dobbo) and guitarist Alex Beston of Vacant Weekend, sax/synth whizz Frankie Pigeon (Dilettante/BC Camplight), and harmonica player Oli Brown (of Herelduke, who also notably produced Hello Cosmos’ ‘Golden Dirt’ mixtape).
‘Come Out Tonight’ was produced by Jamie Lockhert, who has produced all of the Hello Cosmos studio records to date, at Greenmount Studios in Leeds.
