ALBUM/DVD REVIEW: COSMO JARVIS - THINK BIGGER (special edition)


COSMO JARVIS - THINK BIGGER (special edition incl. The Naughty Room DVD & Soundtrack  ***Release date changed to 4th March***

The use of the term "Multi-Talented artist" - is no better fitting than with Devonshire 23yr old Cosmo Jarvis. His new album 'Think Bigger' spans Folk, Rock, Pop, Singer Songwriter genres & he plays a whole array of instruments saying himself "I am by no means a professional on any instrument but if i have a musical idea that requires the services of a particular instrument I will find a way of making myself play the part on that instrument." He's a writer, performer, arranger, sound engineer and 'Think Bigger' begs for repeat listens to absorb it all in.
Not only that, but Cosmo Jarvis releases this album as a special edition which includes a DVD of his movie The Naughty Room, a black comedy which was premiered at the end of last year on BBC4. Cosmo not only wrote, directed, edited and of course recorded the soundtrack (also included in this special edition set), but also acted in the film as one of the key characters. To add to this, the film is an absolute triumph in new British filmmaking, and gives the viewer a thought provoking look into both the issues and lives of youth society, and   also follows broken & slightly twisted relationship between a particularly disturbed mother and her son (played by Cosmo) who has kept locked up since being a child in the "Naughty Room".
Cosmo is playing in Manchester at the Soup Kitchen on the 14th Feb so do yourselves a favour and go check him out live and listen to Think Bigger.
