On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, iNKOGNiiTO’s iNKOMPLETE TERRiTORY is a mesmerizing six-track EP that blends alien pop and experimental soundscapes, taking listeners on a surreal journey through individuality, alienation, and transformation.
iNKOMPLETE TERRiTORY
North London’s experimental electronic artist iNKOGNiiTO (they/them) has released their latest project, a six-track EP titled iNKOMPLETE TERRiTORY, now available for streaming. Known for their genre-defying sound, iNKOGNiiTO crafts what they call Alternative Futuristic music—a fusion of alien pop, ambient electronic, experimental, and alternative soundscapes. Through surreal storytelling and a lens of mundane absurdism, they create an immersive universe that feels both otherworldly and intimately human.
iNKOMPLETE TERRiTORY explores themes of individuality, alienation, and the search for balance in a chaotic world. The EP builds on the thematic foundation of their earlier single, “Satellites ??,” where ideas of strandedness, displacement, and perpetual drift began to coalesce. These fragments grew into a larger narrative about a futuristic nomad-spy character who, after losing all memory, glitches across multiple timelines. Each glitch serves as a moment of intuitive reconstruction, symbolizing personal transformation and resilience in a fragmented existence.
Eclectic Influences and Non-Linear Soundscapes
The EP’s sonic identity draws from a diverse range of influences, including space-age sound design, 80s drum patterns, retro and sci-fi cinema, and 90s/2000s TV culture, such as Goosebumps and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Afro-Surrealism and artists like New Order, Blood Orange, 070 Shake, and James Blake also shape its texture. Cinematic inspirations, including Hitchcock’s Vertigo, Annihilation, Attack the Block, I Saw the TV Glow, and the 1997 PC game The Space Bar, add narrative depth. The result is a non-linear musical structure that mirrors the spiraling, unresolved essence of the EP’s themes.
Working with producers ANN, Jericho, Dynasty!, and Zylyny, iNKOGNiiTO has crafted a soundscape that feels both alien and familiar. The standout track “Chemical X” exemplifies their approach, blending minimalism, 80s-inspired drums, and machine-like synth textures into a three-part exploration of mortality, futility, and obliteration. The track navigates an emotional arc toward an uncertain destination, reflecting the artist’s meditations on life’s impermanence.
A Fictional Lens on Mundane Absurdism
At the heart of the EP is a fictional character navigating a disorienting reality, where memory loss and timeline glitches create a sense of perpetual displacement. This narrative framework allows iNKOGNiiTO to delve into mundane absurdism—the surreal dissonance of everyday existence—through lyrics and unconventional song structures. Their visuals, created in collaboration with their sister and creative partner IAlwaysAlien, enhance this aesthetic, immersing listeners in a magenta-tinted, spiral-filled world.
Building a Universe from the Ground Up
Self-managed and self-released, iNKOGNiiTO has meticulously built their artistic universe from scratch. Their live performances have lit up notable London venues like The Lower Third, Notting Hill Arts Club, and The Star in Shoreditch. In 2023, they performed at HMV Vault, Europe’s largest entertainment store, marking a significant milestone. Their single “Space Tellz” recently surpassed 10,000 streams, signaling their growing presence in the alternative music scene.
iNKOMPLETE TERRiTORY is more than an EP—it’s a gateway into iNKOGNiiTO’s unique artistic vision, where the boundaries of reality, fiction, and sound dissolve. For those seeking an unconventional and thought-provoking musical experience, this release offers a journey worth embarking on.
