“Cosmic Bowling” is the latest from Great Wave, the Scranton-based act whose gorgeous track “Sorry, Darling” premiered a year ago. That effort packed a moody, haunting allure with unique appeal. “Cosmic Bowling” impresses with similar haunts. Murky bass and haunting acoustics accompany escalating vocals, reaching new heights past the one-minute mark. A snarling guitar around 01:50 shows a Pixies-esque charm initially, then unfolding into a beautifully dark cavernous quality that leads into a ghostly piano. “Cosmic Bowling” is an atmospheric, engrossing output from Great Wave.
