Wolfmother To Drop ‘Cosmic Egg’

Wolfmother To Drop ‘Cosmic Egg’

Is Andrew Stockdale’s brain fried? Perhaps even scrambled? That could possibly explain the thinking behind ‘Cosmic Egg’, the title of Wolfmother’s second LP, which he poached from a yoga class.

“I did a yoga class and one of the poses we were doing was called ‘cosmic egg’, and I thought yeah, that’s it,” Stockdale told NME. “It’s like the fetal pose.”

As for how the album’s progressing, Stockdale said that plans have been hatched for an imminent release. “[It’s] almost there,” he told NME. “I’ve done 18 songs. Hopefully it should be out in September.”

‘Back Round’, the album’s first cut, was launched at the MTV Australia Awards, last month. So is this a taste of things to come?

“Everything is magnified,” Stockdale said of the album’s sound. “The heaviness is magnified to heavier state. The simple ones are really simplistic, two-minute songs, and the journey songs are like 12 parts.”

Sounds promising. Let’s just hope he doesn’t end up with egg on his face. Just yolking.

would ''wolfmother to lay 'cosmic egg''' be a better title?

I thought the title of the article was referring to them maybe having dumped that wizard-y elf guy. He seems like a cosmic egg.

excrete, perhaps

cloaca-dacca?

This new album will put them up in the pecking order.


kuroneko  said about 2 years ago:

I must be the only one here genuinely keen to hear the new stuff. I hope it's all it's cracked up to be, 'cos I'll shell out for the album if so.


__v  said about 2 years ago:

Their new LP is gonna get them heaps of chicks.


hyperfuzz  said about 2 years ago:

if the first single is any indication, it's crap. there's a spoken word bit in the middle. this is not a good thing.


Goal attack  said about 2 years ago:

I hope it's not going to be rushed, they really should let the ideas incubate a while longer.


de.foxus  said about 2 years ago:

this bit: “I’ve done 18 songs. Hopefully it should be out in September.” makes me think that he's writing and recording the songs himself without outside input.

egomania is a curse when it comes to music, most of the time.

that's probably because he fired the other two people in his band ;-)

egomania? never!

Eggomania?


de.foxus  said about 2 years ago:

i know, but he has NEW dudes, including elfman, to help him.

curling into the fetal position in drug fucked wonderment at your own brilliance does not generally make for decent albums.


kuroneko  said about 2 years ago:

Is Stockdale the new Anton Newcombe?


timewaster  said about 2 years ago:

In the kitchen, Wolfmother's cosmic egg will make a rich PAVlova.

Pavlova? Pav? Wolfmother's label? Geddit? Ba ba ba boom....

Oh forget it. You can see me doing stand-up with Ugly Dave Gray.


hillsonghoods  said about 2 years ago:

Poor elfman. I know him. He's a very talented keyboardist. I'm curious to hear new Wolfmother, but am pretty sure Stockdale wouldn't have anyone around who'll tell him when his shit stinks.


hillsonghoods  said about 2 years ago:

Also, I liked the title of the article, it works perfectly in the general snarky M&N way - dropping an egg generally results in mess, does it not? Also, I dare someone to start a parody account called CosmicEgg, where they troll in the style of angelic, but with more insults.


Ubu  said about 2 years ago:

He's rocking a total Santana look in that photo. Are we going to get some sweetass voodoo latin vibes on the egg?

I love all the witty bantam in this thread.

Now I know you're just pulling my leghorn.


kuroneko  said about 2 years ago:

Wattle Wolfmother come up with next? Another battery of brooding, epic cockrock would certainly be something to crow about. I'm keen to have a gander, but am still worried that that goose Stockdale's ego could cause it be be a complete turkey.


hillsonghoods  said about 2 years ago:

Wyandotte you believe me, ___v?


__v  said about 2 years ago:

I will remain unconvinced until the elfman puts a capon.


_cw_  said about 2 years ago:

I think he should hold off releasing the new album until next Easter.


toadphoney  said about 2 years ago:

Surely he doesn't play all the instruments himself - he must need someone more skilled with drum sticks.


toadphoney  said about 2 years ago:

Perhaps he'll poach a drummer from another band?

Stockdale's Twitter - http://twitter.com/positron76

''Well we are cruising along, looking for goblin middle earth shoes with a buckle, if anyone knows where to find them in L.A?''

There is no stopping the full goblonic plague.
