ALBUM: BCOS RSNS – ‘BCOS RSNS’

London DIY post-punks BCOS RSNS‘ eponymous debut album is the kind of release that cements a band’s place in a musical landscape just waiting for them to come and take their rightful place at its heart. Every track is clearly drawn from an authentic place, whether it’s a fond memory of a night out or an examination of personal experiences of bigotry. This gives the whole album a sense of vulnerability that makes listening to it feel like you’re in the easy company of friends.

The music is stylistically uncomplicated, with simple rhyme schemes that make it easy to absorb the point of each song. The lyrics are straightforward and accessible, delivering thoughts clearly and frankly. These are set to upbeat rhythms and buoyant guitars that make for a very enjoyable listen. Elements that really shine in every track are the incredibly catchy hooks that bounce around your brain long after the album ends.

The album as a whole showcases a diverse range of musical styles and skills, but the one thing every song has in common is its honesty. Every line comes from such a real place; the songs feel like the band is opening up to you, trusting you with the important things they feel about the world around them. The album carries you along on a rich emotional journey that is intensely personal, yet still relatable. You’re invited to dive into their explorations of everything, from conspiracy theories, to being ghosted, to how they would go about their dream revolution. 

Through the two singles that have been released, we’ve been perfectly introduced to the tone of the album with its direct approach to emotions and generally wholesome vibe. Then as it gets underway, it eases you into deeper territory. The fun rhythms and authentic lyrics give the album such a gentle pace you almost don’t notice how intense the subject matter becomes. BCOS RSNS begins with a love letter to live music, ‘(First On At) The Buffalo Bar’, and continues to pay tribute to the scene simply by contributing the band’s own fantastic new introspective and insightful gems.

BCOS RSNS, the eponymous debut album, is out now. Listen / download on bandcamp now. And keep your eyes peeled for BCOS RSNS on a stage near you!
