Album Review: Somethings Wrong by Cosmosis & Eskimo
If you’re into Psy-Trance and haven’t heard Somethings Wrong by Cosmosis & Eskimo, you’re missing out on a wild ride. Released back in 2014 under Holophonic Records (UK), this album is like that weird yet totally addictive energy drink you can’t stop sipping. It’s chaotic, trippy, and somehow still smooth—like your brain’s throwing a rave while the rest of you chills.
Let’s talk tracks. The title track, “Something’s Wrong,” hits hard right off the bat. I mean, it’s got this hypnotic beat that feels like it’s rewiring your brain circuits. You know those moments when you're zoning out but also hyper-aware? That’s this track. The melody builds up so subtly you don’t even realize it’s taken over your soul until you’re nodding along like a bobblehead doll. It’s one of those songs where halfway through, you think, “Wait…is something actually wrong with me?” But nah, it’s just the music messing with your head—in the best way possible.
Another standout for me is “Neon Jungle” (or whatever the second track is called—I’m going off vibe here). This one’s got layers of sound that feel like walking through an alien forest at night. There are these little glitchy bits sprinkled in that make it super textured, almost like the music has its own secret language. Honestly, every time I hear it, I picture neon vines glowing in the dark and some sort of cosmic creature lurking nearby. Like, who does that? Only Cosmosis & Eskimo, apparently.
What makes this album stick is how unapologetically raw it feels. It doesn’t try to be perfect or polished; instead, it embraces all the quirks of Psy-Trance and runs with them. By the end, you’re not sure if you’ve been dancing for hours or meditating in another dimension. Maybe both?
Here’s the thing though—listening to Somethings Wrong feels like being let in on a secret. A really cool, kinda bizarre secret that only you and whoever else stumbled upon this gem get to share. And honestly? That’s pretty rad.
Oh, random thought: If this album were a person, it’d probably wear neon socks under combat boots and have a pet ferret named Buzz. Just saying.
