Bosola is an alternative rock quartet hailing from the city of Newcastle in the UK, featuring the talents of songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist Tim Cox, lead guitarist Austin Peters, drummer Rob Woolfenden and Pete Waldock on bass. What began as a solo folk project led by Tim in 2019 swiftly evolved into a collaborative project with the addition of Pete on various instruments, before becoming a fully-fledged musical outfit during the pandemic lockdowns.
Opening the first chapter of their musical story in 2021 with the debut single “Soil & Dust,” followed up by their sophomore outing “This Time Buddy, It’s All On You” and their first EP How Sick I Became Running From Myself later that year. 2022 saw them drop more singles and their sophomore EP Thomas & Judas, going on to establish themselves on the live music scene by bringing their music alive on the stage from Glasgow to London.
Their recorded material earned widespread attention and was championed by Glasgow-based independent label, Deliberator Records. Following their last single “Truth Man” in February, they now bring us their latest release with their brand new single titled “Comfort Disorder,” the first song from the band that was co-written by Austin Peter and Tim Cox.
Produced by Alex Blamire at Polestar Studios, “Comfort Disorder” is written about the complexities of relationships, exploring themes of disillusionment and resignation as the flames of romance flicker and fade. Brought in by the laid back strike of drums, lightly crunching guitar tones and soft bass lines set up a lilting rhythm and hazy indie rock aesthetic.
Tim’s smooth vocal leads drift above to gently thread mellow melodies and picture painting lyrics that shine a light on the sombre aspects of a relationship in demise. Serving up a subtly anthemic chorus with rolling drums and twanging guitar tones furnishing the arrangement with delicate groove, emphatic vocals deliver memorable hooks, resulting in a charming indie sound that’s catchy and meaningful.
With Austin’s John Frusciante inspired guitar flourishes, bright piano plinks add elegant dashes in the breakdown capped by a bluesy guitar solo injecting energising instrumental flair. Floating down to a dreamy outro, “Comfort Disorder” offers up a superb showcase of the band’s songwriting talent and their performance panache with a highly enjoyable song that’s both bold and intimate in equal measure.
