Close your eyes and imagine you’re at a spacebar built on an asteroid. Grab your noise cancelling headphones, turn up the volume and brace yourself for the meteor shower that is Necrophage by Cosmic Carpool. The second track on their latest LP “Midnight Sun”, it’s an instrumental, intergalactic trip from start to finish.

It starts with a simple bass riff, and introduces a spacey shuffle on the kit. With each bar Necrophage builds energy, introducing alien synths and retro keyboard lines. Each note is a deliberate part of the immersive composition.

I don’t make a habit of listening to instrumental music–I generally find that lyrics are what really pulls me into a song. I’d make an exception for Cosmic Carpool, though. Their song flys you to another planet without any needs for words to fuel the imagery. I’m writing this from an aeroplane, but I can’t wait to download the rest of “Midnight Sun” once I’m reuinited with wifi.
