Since their inception in 2012, Cosmo's Midnight have been eagerly chipping away at genre boundaries, becoming one of the most celebrated and progressive acts to emerge from Australia. Consisting of real-life twins Cosmo and Patrick Liney, the duo boast 440+ million streams and 5 Gold singles, proving that their vibrant collage of sounds has landed with infectious success.
With humble beginnings as a DIY production duo, Cosmo's Midnight began experimenting with beats on Ableton and soon earned a healthy following on Soundcloud. In 2012 they released their first EP, Surge. Followed up in 2015 by Moments which included single 'Walk With Me' featuring Kučka and was later certified Gold in Australia. At the top end of 2017, Cosmo's Midnight released 'History' becoming the most played track on triple j that year.
With their new album Yesteryear, Cosmo's Midnight find their own unique blend of digital and organic sounds, funnelling their beat-making history into a heavier emphasis on instrumentation. Lead single 'C.U.D.I' has already been certified Gold, also marking their debut entry in the Hottest 100.
Influenced by their parents' vinyl collection and sounds from the 60s, 70s and 80s, Yesteryear acts as a coming of age moment for Cosmo's Midnight. For the first time, Patrick takes a prominent role as a vocalist on Yesteryear. "Going into this album, we really wanted to have our own voice be heard," they say. "We’ve become more confident in our songwriting and trusting in our ideas. We feel this is some of the best music we’ve ever written, and we’ve truly arrived at a sound we can call our own."
