Cosmorat - Backseat Baby

Grotesqualizer

Cosmorat, a US group located in London, demonstrate their tight debut tune.

“Backseat Baby” is rebellious, loud, beat-driven alt pop on the hook of rock and hip-hop. Expressive, assertive, whispering, melodic - Taylor Pollock’s vocal manner is diverse, highly contagious, and strikes along with the headbanger loops. All along, the song stays at the peak of heavy and groovy drum concussion, as if it's minimalist Sleigh Bells. The track is full of background stun gun-like glitches and has a nice bass pump. Cosmorat themselves describe “Backseat Baby” as “an ode to being young and bored, searching for a third space in a decaying world.”
