Cogna
"Trust me: I'm in Cogna" CDR
EP
self-released
Genres: electronic, goth
November 2006 |
They call their musical style "electrical cabaret - anti-trance -
low-key drama." Well that could mean any number of things, but in this
case we get amateur, electronic-heavy gothy stuff. Forget melody, this
is about the atmosphere (I guess) but I just find it cheesy. Perhaps
the goth kids go for this sort of thing but to me it's completely
unappealing. Synths, gloomy vocals, miscalculated beats... there isn't
enough to hang on to. Parts of this sound like they could have been
made by me on a Yamaha keyboard, and I don't know how to play. Only
the eerie melody of "Fireplaces" caught my attention but a single
element isn't enough to sustain an EP, even if it's under twenty
minutes. Better luck next time.

Fun Fact: Cogna is
also an acronym for the Council of Geographic Names Authorities. How
exciting!
