There’s something intangible about this once-“lost” album by ex-Big Star troubadour Chris Bell that helps assuage the blues. Perhaps it’s the tortured title track “I am the Cosmos”, or the sweetly sad “You and Your Sister”. Whatever the case may be, listening to it makes me think of far-flung friends, fragile-but-beautiful connections, and the hopeful glow of new paths to forge. It makes me feel good.
