Noel Gallagher joins Mantra Of The Cosmos for new single ‘Domino Bones (Gets Dangerous)’.
Mantra Of The Cosmos is a super-group, uniting drummer Zak Starkey, guitarist Andy Bell, Shaun Ryder, Bez, and more. A pair of singles in 2023 – ‘Gorilla Guerilla’ and ‘X (Wot You Sayin?)’ – saw the band become a cult phenomenon, before making their Glastonbury Festival debut as a headline act on the Glade Stage.
The band return this week, laying out plans for an all-star new single, and a live show at Liverpool’s legendary The Cavern venue.
Mantra Of The Cosmos will play a pair of shows at The Cavern on January 19th – at 3pm and 8pm – with Bell and Ryder scheduled to DJ in between. Compered by Philip Regen, AKA “The Queen Of Scotty Road”, support will come from Liverpool band Keyside, as well as Chloe Slater for the later set.
New single ‘Domino Bones (Gets Dangerous)’ will be available on a limited edition vinyl run, with Zak Starkey describing it as “‘Free Bird’ for Mods”.
Noel Gallagher contributes, a rare studio outing ahead of those colossal Oasis re-union shows. The guitarist says…
“Mantra Of The Cosmos is like Dylan, Dali and Ginsberg on a rocketship to the moon to have it with the Clangers.”
For his part, Zak Starkey – who obviously played drums with Oasis for a period of time – comments…
“It’s not every day that the greatest songwriter of my generation – not to mention Shaun, the greatest beat poet of our times – sends a tune to me and I was in a daze for a bit cos it’s not something you want to f*** up! It came together great – everyone digs it!
“Noel loves Shaun. He texted me to say ‘Do you know what you’ve got? The British Bob Dylan’ – and he’s not f***ing about because now I’ve witnessed what Shaun does. Noel calls him the ‘king of lyrics’.”
Wanna hear it? Guess you’ll have to pick up the vinyl.
