COSMO JARVIS - Is The World Strange Or Am I Strange?
British singer-songwriter Cosmo Jarvis has already courted controversy with his
viral sensation "Gay Pirates". The self-directed video for "Pirates"
has received over half a million YouTube views following a twitter post by Stephen
Fry. Continuing in the thought-provoking vein of "Gay Pirates", Cosmo
also released the controversial video to his follow up single "Sure As Hell
Not Jesus" which he wrote and directed himself, exploring the themes of shame
and redemption from a papal perspective.
The brand new single,
"My Day", which has also been lifted from the album is a Prufrock-like
exercise with Cosmo imagining himself as an old man looking back on his youth,
criticising his generation's self absorption and apathy.
"All
the generations prior to ours seemed to have better music, better movies, better
work ethic, manners and standards of social conduct - also the weed wasn't as
strong back then. I therefore felt imposing a bogus hindsight on my generation
might be interesting....." says Cosmo.
Cosmo Jarvis is
a singer, a songwriter, an actor, a director, a composer, a producer and a multi-instrumentalist.
He writes about topics ranging from his alienation from religion to the equal
treatment of gay pirates (and he's completed nearly three hundred songs already).
Cosmo is an extraordinarily talented twenty-one year old, and a genuine one-off.
When Brian Eno is singing your praises, as he did recently - "he is a very
interesting example to me of a new kind of person; a new kind of artist"
- you must be doing something right.
Cosmo Jarvis will be
in Australia this month. His album "Is The World Strange Or Am I Strange"
is out now through MGM.
