Cosines

Cosines are a mathematical pop band from north London. Simon Nelson and Alice Hubley met on the London Underground after a Stereo Totale gig in 2009. Two days later Simon was round Alice’s house unblocking her kitchen drain. Since then Simon has been round and put up two curtain rails, a blind and a shelf. This unlikely meeting got them talking and once the DIY was done they started making music together, fusing metronomic pop sensibilities, 60’s grooves and krautrock noise. What you maybe would get if you mix Love, United States of America and Stereolab. As a band they are constantly trying to find the perfect meeting point between clean synths and fuzz guitars.

The band’s line up was completed by Alice’s old Loves bandmates Daniel Chapman and Jonny Drums, and A Smile and A Ribbon’s Kajsa Tretow. Jonny left to pursue a career in international espionage at the end of 2014 and was replaced by the enigmatic Matt Harms.
