Granted this particular artist has bounced in and out of the ‘mainstream’ media, especially with the popularization of his songs “Come Along” and “Birthday Suit” on the app TikTok. “Come Along” was also used in a commercial for Apple’s iPhone XR in the US and UK. He was also recently featured in a film on the Galapagos Islands, the original soundtrack is named Galapagos and was released December 13th, 2019.

Cosmo Sheldrake is an artist I would recommend to anyone who is interested in other artists such as AJR, Cavetown, dodie, half•alive, and Glass Animals. His music can be described as experimental, using sounds that are unconventional for modern ‘pop’ music. He uses classical instruments such as the double bass and sousaphone to create interesting tonal texture in his music.

My personal recommendations for songs from Sheldrake include ‘lesser known’ songs such as “Run Rings Right Wrongs” and “Wriggle.” His music is on all major streaming platforms including Youtube and Spotify. This has been your music recommendation for the week of January 8th, 2020.
