Valerio Cosi

"Italian galactico Valerio Cosi returns with his second album for foxglove, and raises the stakes considerably. He bends his saxophone into a glistening array of aural armaments, channelling the ghosts of giants, these spaced-out, eastern-infused missives. Cosi is a master at bending tones and meshing multiple instruments and styles into a cohesive unit. Layers of guitars, horns, percussion and more create everything from whimsical pop to sprawling, esoteric drone. "The Spiritual Committee" is the perfect homage to the roman gods of yore.
