Cosmic Ninja Releases “Filth EP”
Cosmic Ninja have been taking the UK by storm over the last few years with their eclectic sound and raucous live show, and the band are set to release their most accomplished and exciting work to date in the form of upcoming new EP ‘Filth.’
Their energetic appeal, disregard for genre conventions and punk ethos have made the band stand out in an already deeply creative scene, and ‘Filth’ is packed full of tracks that feel distinctive and packed full of unique character while embedded with Cosmic Ninja DNA.
Recorded with John Mitchell (Enter Shikari, Architects) at Outhouse Studios in Reading, the EP is bursting with energy and intensity throughout, melding impassioned political lyrics with dizzying electronics and huge riffs. From the angst-filled raps to the soaring, memorable choruses, the diversity and guile shown on the new EP is staggering, and with their sights set on themes like the political status quo, injustice, equality and mental health, their message feels clearer and more important than ever.
A track that exemplifies the feel of the EP is ‘Stone Cold’, a track as dynamic and unpredictable as anything you’ll hear this year. Euphoric synths compliment a sound that skiRers from groovy, to melodic, to spiky, before reaching its apex with a colossal metal breakdown. Everything about the track feels lazer-focused and precise, embodying everything that Cosmic Ninja are.
‘Filth’ is blessed with an abundance of similar highlights and moments of awe-inspiring creativity throughout. The powerful, socially conscious messaging that adorns these tracks feels vital and relevant, and the conviction in the dual vocals makes for a release that feels as authentic and pure as it does all-encompassing.
