Kosmos na Potolke (JP), cotoba (KR)

Crunch Tapes presents:

**Kosmos na Potolke** (JP)

Kosmos na Potolke is a dream pop / shoegaze band formed in Moscow in 2018. Since 2023, the group has been based in Tokyo, Japan. Their third album, released in 2025, remains true to their dreamy style while being the band’s most upbeat release so far. Detached vocal delivery paired with emotional instrumentation is a hallmark of their sound. The arrangements on the album reflect influences from Wet Leg, Blur, and Alvvays – it's guitar-driven indie rock with elements of dream pop.

**cotoba** (KR)

Step into the captivating world of cotoba, a band destined to stir the depths of your soul. Like a poem that seems nonsensical when read conventionally, cotoba offers to untangle loss through revealing a profound empathy in their music. With their enchanting blend of clean guitar tones, captivating vocal, mesmerizing bass lines, and syncopated drums, they weave a tapestry of wordless emotions that resonate with the essence of loss.

cotoba's music is a language unto itself, a primal scream of desires, much like a newborn child entering this chaotic world. Their stage transcends mere sounds, capturing the very essence of human existence, and beckoning you to immerse yourself in their profound musical journey.
