CHRIS BELL I Am The
Cosmos
hails from 2017 and is a SEALED LP.
After co-founding Big Star, the world only received two tracks of new
music from Chris Bell during his lifetime – a 1978 single on the Car
Records label run by Chris Stamey (dB's, Sneakers) titled "I Am The Cosmos"
b/w "You And Your Sister." He would tragically be killed in a car
accident later that same year. However, those were not the only tracks Bell had
recorded in his post-Big Star years. In 1974-1975, Bell worked in the
famed Château D'Hérouville near Paris, France, and later recorded at both Shoe
Studios and Ardent Studios in Memphis.
That material arrived in 1992 as I Am The Cosmos to great
acclaim and was issued on LP by Omnivore Recordings in 2017. The 12
tracks highlight Bell's ethereal vocals, his uncanny sense of song structure
and insightful, melancholy lyrics, all of which illuminate his often-overlooked
contribution to Big Star. I Am The Cosmos is a haunting pop
masterpiece ripe for discovery.
