The wide expanse of the themes found on ‘How Sick I Became, Running From Myself’ make it one of the more intriguing releases of the year. The fact that an artist with just one previous EP released can create a world of such mixed emotions on just four tracks is a testament to the skill of Cox, whilst the musical swagger found on the tracks make Bosola one of the more exciting projects in the UK right now.
About Bosola
Bosola are a 4-piece Alternative Rock band from Newcastle Upon Tyne, from a collection of musicians who met in Heaton. Their unique sound references alternative guitar bands of the 80s and 90s and existential lyrics with guitar pop sensibilities and affable wit that will make you want to dance yourself into the abyss. Currently, the band is working on a new single called “Space & Time” that they plan to release in June, 2022.
‘Space & Time’ is a lyrical exploration of the frustration of watching your childhood sweetheart betray all your faith in romance by devolving into a lusty rascal with a penchant for chaos and heartbreak. Inspired by many deep meaningful conversations supporting friends who pursue relationships with such rogues, Tim decided to distill the complexities of pursuing someone who just isn’t that into you into a nifty little country song. Moving through a cycle of emotions from loss, eye rolling disdain, fascination, frustration, disgust and finally ending on the resolve that too much time has been spent thinking about them, with the cheerleading reprise chant of ‘You gave them distance and you made the time between the lump in your throat and the back of your mind’.
Musically the song draws on songwriter Tim Cox’s love of country infused alt rock with artists such as The Lemonheads, The Smiths, John Prine and Bright Eyes, making their mark on the danceable number.
