Buckle up, stargazers and soundscape seekers, for iNKOGNiiTO has once again unveiled a portal to a sonic dimension that transcends the ordinary. ‘Space Tellz II,’ released on September 28, 2023, is a celestial voyage through the enigmatic universe of an artist who remains mysteriously concealed within the music they craft.
iNKOGNiiTO, a UK-based talent hailing from North London, dwells in the uncharted territory of experimental soundscapes. Their compositions evoke futuristic and spacey atmospheres, intricately layered with vocal distortions, ethereal harmonies, and lyrics that traverse existential and nihilistic realms. This latest offering is a sequel to the earlier release, ‘Space Tellz,’ and continues the artist’s exploration of themes such as disconnectedness, solitude, internal musings, and more.
‘Space Tellz’ took us on a voyage into the abstract, engaging in a cosmic conversation about the need for personal space. It was a question, a confession, and a confrontation, woven into an experimental tapestry of alt hip-hop. A mind-bending synthwave journey that carried listeners into the boundless reaches of the cosmos.
Now, ‘Space Tellz II’ unfurls its narrative, revisiting the concept of space but with a fresh perspective—reclaiming it as a personal sanctuary. The track melds elements of synthwave, indie electronic, and ballad rock, starting with a shimmer of doubt and gradually leading us into the great unknown. It captures a moment of self-expression amid despair and introspection, a composition both carefree and cautious, concluding with an artful sense of ambiguity. ‘Space Tellz’ was in B minor, and ‘Space Tellz II’ extend beyond this into harmonic B minor, providing much more despair and gloom to the track.
In the words of iNKOGNiiTO, “Space Tellz II highlights the way the darkness likes to loom and the strange solace in coming to terms with it. I’d like listeners to feel like they can somehow make home in this song and, with that, perhaps make peace with something beyond it.”
This celestial symphony has garnered attention across various platforms, including a featured article on KIMU, a captivating music video, and imminent airplay on Radio Graf’hit’s Ambient Memory Station. With over 100 playlist inclusions on Spotify and Apple Music, ‘Space Tellz’ has undoubtedly touched hearts and minds, making its mark in the musical cosmos.
iNKOGNiiTO’s concept, entwined with the loss of memory and temporal glitches, resonates through their music, delving into themes of memory, loss, disconnection, and nihilism. Their vision seeks to find balance, acceptance, and reveal the perils of denial and toxic positivity.
As we embark on this otherworldly journey with ‘Space Tellz II,’ we anticipate more celestial transmissions from iNKOGNiiTO, promising to guide us through the depths of their musical universe as they continue to release new music and unveil a project in 2024.
So, dear travellers of the auditory cosmos, get ready to immerse yourselves in the ethereal waves of ‘Space Tellz II.’ It’s a spellbinding sequel that speaks to the very essence of reclaiming one’s space, one note at a time.
