  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Standard CD edition Includes immediate download of album.

    Scheduled for release June 2014, Ever Evolving Lounge contains ten short blasts of melodic, energetic and distinct pop songs all ready to drill a hole through your senses.

    "The Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren, Brian Eno and McCartney II inform the mix, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Essential. 4/5." -Jon "Mojo" Mills- Shindig Magazine

    "Pick of the week,a psychedelic-pop gem with much to recommend!"- Valis, Trip Inside This House

    "If you close your eyes you can definitely spot A Wizard and A True Star dancing to Paul McCartney fronting The Monkees, drunk on a magical potion consisting of cider and early electronic juices." -Clam In A Jam

    "......not a filler track to be found. Highly Recommended to all those with a healthy love of nostalgia and sunny melodies." -Powerpooaholic

    "this merry-go-round kaleidoscope of bygone melodies is an affectionate, warm-hearted treat for the ears." -Monolith Cocktail

    "....there are moments here where the diversity on show captures the easy cross-genre pollination that the younger Todd Rundgren used to so effortlessly master. Soooooo good." -The Active
    Listener

    " The duo have great ears for melodies and harmonies and are not afraid to experiment with them.....an incredible album." -Everything Flows Blog

    "Ever Evolving Lounge takes you on the most pleasant of psychedelic trips back to the glory days of 60’s pop music." -Ravechild

    "Dr Cosmo’s Tape Lab sound like they have stepped out of a Tardis from the sixties but, given that they clearly know their way around a pop song, we should be grateful for that. 4/5" -Bluesbunny

lyrics

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
He asked me then he turned away
An answer for another day
Tryin hard to crack the code
Why did the chicken cross the road?

What is on the other side?
A place for him to run and hide
A joke that never gets too old
Why did the chicken cross the road?

THESE FEATHERS LIE
EVEN IF THERE ARE NO CURRENTS TO GLIDE
HE DON’T FLY FLY FLY
WINGS ARE NO USE I BET HE WISHES THAT HE WAS A GOOSE
COS THEY FLY FLY FLY
COAST TO COAST TO COAST

The dinosaur he tried back then
Cos chickens didn’t exist my friend
Prehistorically so bold
When chickens didn’t cross the road

The duck he later tried it too
Because he had something to prove
He was no chicken so we’re told
And so he tried to cross the road

IF THERES NO GREEN MAN
YOU HAVE TO CROSS IT ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN
EVEN FLY FLY FLY
PLEASE LOOK BOTH WAYS OR ELSE YOU’LL COME A CROPPER ONE OF THESE DAYS
AND HIT THE SKY SKY SKY
AND THEN ITS ONE WAY UP OR DOWN

Chicken time to say goodbye
When you gonna lean to fly

SO IF YOUR CHICKEN IS LONELY
JUST LET IT OUT THE BAG
SQUASHED AGAINST THE PLASTIC IT REALLY IS A DRAG
SO BRING YOUR CHICKEN HOME FOR A CUP OF TEA ....YEAH!
BRING YOUR CHICKEN HOME FOR A CUP OF ROSY LEE

Dr Cosmo's Tape Lab Glasgow, UK

Disappointing Todd Rundgren gigs, Tascam 4 track cassette recorders, animal oddities, The Monkees, cider, children's tv shows from the 80's and sci-fi movies (good and bad) are all ingredients to the sounds of Dr Cosmo's Tape Lab.
