The Thief of Time - We Are Cosmic EP

Since arriving at the back end of 2023, Chris Massey's Thief Of Time quickly evolved from a solo project into a live 3 piece alongside fellow electronic explorers; Lady Lady and Mike Grubert. The trio quickly played sold out solo shows at The Golden Lion, The Yard & YES with festival appearances and supporting the likes of Lindstrøm and Hifi Sean & David McAlmont. We Are Cosmic follows on from the semi-autobiographical predecessor 'Where Do I Belong?' and is a deeper voyage through neon nights with a retro-future soundtrack of stacked synths, lush, layered guitars and ethereal vocals by Massey and Lady Lady, who takes her place as an honorary Thief member on this release.

Viewpoints of love, loss, deception, mental wellbeing and the ever-evolving gentrification of Manchester City Centre along with a response to many gate keepers within are all challenged on the E.P. Where dark is light, light is dark and emotions are electronic, We Are Cosmic is a natural evolution of The Thief Of Time with elements of contemporaries like New Order, Pet Shop Boys, The Fuck Buttons, Chromatics and The Cocteau Twins being present alongside current inspirations such as Nabihah Iqbal and Night Tapes.
