Ready to feel music differently? To remember what it means to be? Welcome to The More We Live, the mind-bending debut album from Cosmos Ray, a sonic alchemist rising from Chicago’s musical underground. The album is like a ritual, a mirror, a cinematic dream you don’t wake up from.
From the opening track, “Recall – Being Human”, you’re pulled into a world of moody trip-hop textures, echoing the golden age of the genre with a modern, brooding twist. Then comes “Paranoia”, a bold second chapter — its psychedelic rhythms, shifting structures, and hypnotic vocals offer a whole new emotional palette. You’ll be caught off guard, and you’ll love it.
The third track, “When You’re Gone (conversation with my selves)”, blends rock undertones with an almost theatrical emotional range. It’s a powerful showcase of Cosmos Ray’s ability to translate inner chaos into harmony. Don’t miss “It Is What It Is” — a nostalgic detour into smooth, old-school melodies that wrap you in warmth and longing.
We also are addicted to “We Are With Them” arrives — the closing track with electro-pop fire, afro-influenced rhythms, and an energy that doesn’t just play in your ears — it lives in your body.
Hit play.
Reflect.
Feel.
This is The More We Live!
