Gay Pirates

Cosmo Jarvis

25th Frame/SSL

WE SAY

Stephen Fry's tweet linking to Cosmo Jarvis' video for Gay Pirates last week helped push it to 70,000 views over the weekend alone, placing it in the top 5 most viewed YouTube music videos in the UK (and the top 75 worldwide). The poignant and rousing track is the first single from the new Cosmo Jarvis album Is the World Strange or am I Strange?, due out next year. We first featured him earlier this year with Crazy Screwed Up Lady. This song presents a striking development of Jarvis as a lyricist. When Brian Eno is singing your praises, as he did recently on 6Music - “(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. Radio support has come from a host of 6 Music shows including Chris Hawkin, Tom Robinson, Steve Lamacq and Lauren Laverne, with XFM plays from John Kennedy. “It’s vivid, violent and the most tragically moving love song we’ve heard all year” - Dan Martin, NME. Cosmo Jarvis is available for records and publishing.
