cosmosy 2nd EP ‘~ of the world ~’
An unfamiliar and fascinating new world arrived through the door of the 1st EP ‘the a(e)nd’. ‘~ of the world ~’ is an album that compares the love experienced by girls in the new world to natural phenomena and physical laws. In the 90s and early 2000s, based on J-R&B and J-Hiphop, they combined house, J-Urban, and futuristic sounds to create cosmosy's unique aesthetic that connects the past and present.
The five devices (PRISM INVADERS) that tried to control love with rational laws all fail, but the journey of the girls who willingly choose to become an ‘error’ is both harrowing and beautiful. The most dazzling game of success thrown at the world, believing in miracles even in the face of the impossible.
1. Physics ~ Object theory ~
(PRISM WATCH) This track crosses the border between house and pop, with vintage synth tones and funky bass providing an addictive charm. In a new world where time and orbit intersect, we depict the ‘physics of love’ where people are attracted to each other and create new orbits. It is a song that announces the official beginning of ‘~ of the world ~’.

2. Chance ~ good news ~ before ~
(PRISM SCOUTER) This is the album's central track that stimulates emotions by adding J-Urban's unique melody development on top of warm strings and piano phrases. Even though the device that reads the probability of love declares 0% impossible, it contains the prayers of girls who do not give in to fate and earnestly hope for a ‘miracle that goes from 0 to 1’.

4. Silence ~ body & soul ~
(PRISM PENDANT) House beats and dark synth textures combine to create a sound that simultaneously embodies the heat of a club and the loneliness of early morning. It expresses the inner lives of girls who have no choice but to hide their hearts in their changed appearance due to a device that changes their appearance with light, and can barely breathe and choose silence only where the music is loudest.

5. Patience ~ Only with you ~
(PRISM PIPE) It is a pop track with a refreshing and smooth ‘Frutiger Aero’ mood, and Hook’s jazzy flute line provides a pleasant sense of liberation. The irony and pure emotion of borrowing the power of a device to control emotions, but ultimately sealing one's own heart, are expressed through a modern sound.

6. Paradise ~ I need you ~
(PRISM RING) A track that adds explosive vitality to the futuristic sensibility of the 2000s by adding jungle-style drum beats. The bold transition to trap in the middle maximizes immersion in the song. Through the device of executing virtual love, it captures the sorrow of falling into the deep longing of an unfulfilled love even though you know it is false.

7. Outro ~ of the world ~
(PRISM HALO) The sixth light that appears at the end of all errors, ‘PRISM HALO’, falls and marks the finale of the album. Through a calm soundscape, it symbolizes the lingering feeling of forgetting all emotions and finally returning to a state of complete ‘nothingness’, hinting at the beginning of the next story.
