Cosmopaark + Salvana

Cosmopaark is a French band that came together in 2018 and bring the world its potent, distilled take on shoegaze. Since their 2019 EP Sunflower and its flagship tune ‘Mr. BigYellowSun’ (which has received almost two million streams on Spotify), they have laid claim to their own little slice of guitar-gliding, dream-popping territory. Ostensibly a guitar-based trio, they add keyboard parts like musical backgrounds depicting a rainy wash of textures in the atmospheric sections of their songs.

With their latest EP Backyard, Cosmopaark dives deep into introspection, modernity, and musical maturity. Across its five tracks, the band blends intensity and intimacy, creating a sound they describe as “more self-assured and a little darker, though not outright gloomy”. Cosmopaark crafts immersive atmospheres that reflect the band’s passion and down-to-earth energy.
