Kosmos

Montreal, Canada’s Kosmos was born out of semi-weekly Krautrock-listening parties including Voivod drummer Michel "Away" Langevin, Tricky Woo keyboardist Alex Crow, Paradise guitarist Jetphil, and Grim Skunk bassist Vincent Peake — all of them normally busy enough with their other bands. But once they decided to attempt composing music in the image of ’70s bands like Pink Floyd, Nectar, Deep Purple, and Amon Düül II, to name but a few, the resulting confluence of “prog-rock-avant-garde-Kraut-post-punk” quickly grew to an album’s worth of material, which was then released in 2007 as the Kosmos CD by The End Records. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
