Blvck Spvde called upon a group of young musicians who shared his surprising love of free jazz. The ensemble includes guitarist Joey Ferber, vocalist Precious Brown, keyboardist Kudda, drummers Dhoruba Shakur and Dorian Simms, percussionist Hodge, saxophonist Vintvge Vibes, trumpeter Josiah Burton, and arranger/keyboardist Antonio Brown. After several years of performing on stages around the Midwest, The Cosmos are releasing their debut album in preparation for their set at one of St. Louis’ premiere festivals, Music at the Intersection.

Their lead single “Doom” is the first track from a live recording session performed to an intimate audience of friends and family. This session is a continuation of their electrifying set as co-headliners of the debut Laz Jazz Festival held on July 15th, in St. Louis. Brothers Lazaroff, a St. Louis-based roots band led by Jeff and David Lazaroff, produced the festival and sought to capture the energy of the inaugural event by inviting The Cosmos back for a follow-up performance, this time to record it. The music and video were recorded on August 6, at Blank Space, a venue on the Southside of St. Louis co-owned by Spvde himself. “Doom” signifies the official launch of Blvck Spvde and The Cosmos into the digital stratosphere, and the band welcomes you aboard for the journey ahead.
