Rough Edges Towards A Pretty Center: Zohka’s “Consciousness” EP

All kinds of rough sounds come together to form something pretty on Tokyo producer Zohka’s Consciousness EP. Released earlier this month, Zohka starts the four-song offering a beat exercise bordered by a sinister energy, with electronics growling in the back. “Unlightened” teases some delicate malfunction at the start before switching into a rattling bass bop, offering the most jagged number here. Yet the last two numbers find more of a balance between the melodic and the rumbling. Get it here, or listen below.
