Welcome ...
Xybor & the Cosmonauts is a modern Renaissance rock group, weaving cosmic tales and sharp satire from a British Columbia studio. The overall sound draws heavily on progressive and psychedelic rock, ala Beatles, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Genesis, Bowie. The music fuses rock, prog, bluegrass, and more to match each song’s soul. Lyrics blend mythic fantasy with fierce critiques of societal chaos, inviting listeners to question reality and embrace the untamed pulse of existence.
... children of a different time.
Give it a listen. It is time well wasted.

In the new streaming world, music is incomplete without video. As such, we will be releasing all new music as videos, enthusiastically engaging with the AI video project (like the animated GIF on the left). Music will always be human-crafted, but imagery and videography will be largely AI-assisted and generated.
To this end, Xybor & the Cosmonauts intend to release a new video every two weeks into the foreseeable future. Video will be released on YouTube and X, while audio streams will continue to be available on all major streaming services. In addition, we have set up a new Bandcamp page where you can purchase digital copies of the music. We encourage you to SUBSCRIBE, LIKE and SHARE our music on the platform of your choice, as the engagement greatly benefits us.
The music via the JUKEBOX tab above is older Xybor & the Cosmonauts music, dating back from a couple years to the early 2000s. It continues to be available on your favorite streaming services.

The music industry has evolved, and while distribution is easier than ever, it’s no secret that compensation for artists has taken a hit—think $0.0013 per Spotify play, making minimum wage a steep climb. Still, we create music out of pure love for it, a core part of who we are, regardless of financial compensation. Looking ahead, our plan is to build a thriving community to share the music with. We’re diving into vigorous content creation, releasing a continuous stream of new music, and racking up views to fuel this journey. Join us, and let’s make it a wild ride together!
