Brisbane-based COSMICA invites listeners into a sonic landscape where nostalgic influences meet modern soundscapes with their new single, 'Castle of Dark Illusions'. The band's name, a nod to the vastness of the cosmos, reflects their expansive musical vision and passion for creating unique sonic experiences.
While COSMICA first appeared in 2021, 'Castle of Dark Illusions' is a stellar glimpse into their evolving sound, delivering lush verses reminiscent of early 2000s alt-rock that seamlessly build into a soaring, anthemic chorus. With a blissful, dynamic structure, the song showcases COSMICA's knack for crafting songs that feel simultaneously familiar and fresh. Despite its title, 'Castle of Dark Illusions' is surprisingly bright, with the song illustrating the group's tight musicianship while still maintaining a welcoming, energetic feel.
In perfect form, 'Castle of Dark Illusions' lays the groundwork for COSMICA's upcoming project, 'EXHIBITION ACT 1', due for release in July this year. The band's dedication to exploring new musical territory through an artistic lens is a thrilling prospect. At its core, 'Castle of Dark Illusions' is a wonderfully enjoyable and infinitely listenable release.
'Castle of Dark Illusions' is not just a captivating listen, it's a testament to COSMICA's confident, evolving sound. The single solidifies their place within the ever-shifting landscape of Australian alternative rock, promising a future full of intriguing soundscapes and captivating energy.
