THYMIAN guides us to Post-Yugo-Wave with "Kozmos"!

THYMIAN's single "Kozmos" taken out of the EP "White Knuckled" released in May 2024 and it was one of the singles that came out prior to the EP release date. In "Kozmos" the sad-Dancy-Boy, THYMIAN, collaborates with Milena Patagonia, an artist who also makes use of the Serbo-Croatian language in her productions. During their collaboration, the different dialects came to the forefront, prompting the question whether they should be unified in "Kozmos". "Wouldn't it be even more beautiful if we embraced our respective dialects?" In this way, the two set a friendly sign that transcends borders.

SO, "Kozmos" is featuring Milena Patagônia and it is a mesmerizing journey through the realms of synthpop and dreamy pop, blending ethereal soundscapes with poignant emotional undertones. The track's lush production is characterized by shimmering synths, pulsating rhythms, and a delicate balance of light and dark tones. THYMIAN's intricate layering of electronic elements creates an immersive atmosphere, inviting listeners to get lost in the cosmic expanse the music conjures. The seamless integration of Milena Patagônia's hauntingly beautiful vocals, sung in Serbo-Croatian, adds a unique cultural depth and an intimate, almost otherworldly feel to the song.

Milena Patagônia's vocal delivery is both powerful and tender, conveying a wide range of emotions that resonate deeply with the listener. Her voice floats effortlessly over the rich, textured instrumentation, creating a sense of longing and introspection. The lyrics, though not immediately understandable, transcend language barriers through the sheer expressiveness and emotion they carry. 

THYMIAN says about "Kozmos": "To the universe and beyond! On “Kozmos”, THYMIAN teams up with Milena Patagônia to launch a joint mission, guiding the audience through a captivating Post Yugo New Wave realm. With recurring themes such as doubt, change, and fears, he uses his work as self-therapy to actively challenge stigmas. "Kozmos" is the second release from the "White Knuckled" EP (release date: May 17, 2024), co-produced with Philippe Laffer (Alterna Studios).

The inner cosmos, our world of thoughts, is boundless. It is all too easy to get lost in it. During therapy sessions for a recently developed anxiety disorder, THYMIAN often found solace in this “Kozmos”, helping him heal and gain a better understanding of himself.

The two voices guide through a dreamy, cool sonic world infused with synthetic sounds. The intensity gradually builds up until it reaches a harmonious canon where the vocals seamlessly fuse together, so that the melody appears to go forever."
