These truths, inspired by growing up on Maui, are embroidered with elegantly simple imagery. Fragments and fine details of a myriad different landscapes–a spray of leaves, a winding river, a bracing trade wind–seem to weave themselves together into a blanket of sound that is warm and wholly enveloping.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor the recording, Thomas, her co-producer John Thayer (Arp, Ezra Feinberg, Yai), and three other bandmates traveled to a house at the end of a mountain road in the woods.

Her 2021 album “Mirrors to the Sun” is more of a pop-oriented songwriting endeavor; 2019’s “Blue of Distance” is something more ephemeral, open-ended, and hushed; 2017’s “Want for Nothing” is filled with straightforward, breezy, and engaging hooks. This oscillation of approach is something that Thomas says has come naturally to her over the years, threading its way through each of her endeavors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven if the listener finds themselves immersed in “Cosmos Forever” without the context of her earlier material, however, this is an album that shines on its own, warmly rewarding deeper and repeated listening with a sense of tranquility and gentle assurance. Lushness without drama, honesty without sharpness–rare and fine qualities that suffuse every song. Like a friendly hand resting on the shoulder, this music encourages the listener to become more at ease with the unanswered questions they might contain within themselves. It suggests that to forgive oneself for being uncertain, to allow oneself to experience pure and simple goodness, is to feel more at home in the world, and to better feel the embrace of the all-encompassing universe itself.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Lea Thomas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Triple Dolphin Records\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-12-22T17:01:52+09:00","created_at":"2024-12-22T14:57:46+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["folk \/ left-field pop","lp","new","recommended"],"price":389800,"price_min":389800,"price_max":389800,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46974215160058,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Lea Thomas \/\/ Cosmos Forever LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":389800,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/cosmos1.jpg?v=1734846961","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/cosmos2.jpg?v=1734846961"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/cosmos1.jpg?v=1734846961","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35335609221370,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/cosmos1.jpg?v=1734846961"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/cosmos1.jpg?v=1734846961","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":35335609254138,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/cosmos2.jpg?v=1734846961"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/cosmos2.jpg?v=1734846961","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eTobiraインストアショーケースでも素晴らしいライブを披露してくれたアメリカ・NYのシンガーソングライターLea Thomasが、2024年9月に自主リリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eスローコア〜インディーフォーク7曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e※デジタル音源を無料でお送りいたしますのでお気軽にご連絡くださいませ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/57J-XDu1ZME?si=HjvQoxowWc1D1WQw\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3010682765\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3010682765\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/track=1167488894\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
