"Discover an entertaining sonic dystopia with Cognitio, Yokaze’s debut solo EP on Renraku. Inspired by strange moments of cognitive dissonance, the EP exposes the compatibility of incompatible things: sounds, styles, genres, emotions. It’s a restless, churning experiment infused with the instability of metamodernism. Distorted synths and drugged-down vocals circle between gripping builds and drops. Every track is pulled taut with tension.
Heavy and unhinged, “Brave New Worldish” is deliciously twisted through with dark-minded bot beats. “Hush” dials down into a lingering dream, a riveting sonic romance that feels like relief. Fizzy synths circle towards the sunrise in “Whirl,” expanding on an easy pace into a smooth, colorful dance. Cognitio feels agitated yet optimistic, bold yet erratic. Yokaze explains:
'I wrote this album in my home studio in different parts of time, all the time experimenting not only with the sound but also with my personal state. I would like to emphasize that the experiments begin not with sound, but with you. Do not focus on the message, just listen.'
Renraku is quickly becoming known for its forward-thinking releases, and Cognitio provides an unparalleled taste of the label’s unlimited approach."
