Something About Settler Colonialism, the debut release by KØBA DØBA (aka Mr. Babadook), is a bold foray into dark psytrance/psycore, marked by its abstract, experimental sound that defies genre conventions. 

With a unique blend of polyrhythmic tribal percussion, glitchy drone elements, and eroded textures, this release oscillates between slambient and ethnocore, occasionally introducing subtle hints of jazz, creating an immersive, psychedelic experience. This rich and dynamic tapestry of layered soundscapes is used by KØBA DØBA to explore and confront themes such as settler colonialism, surveillance, and social responsibility.

The album opens with "Drone(s) Over Khan-Younis", a haunting reflection on the experience of living under relentless military surveillance. This is followed by "Sikiyn Yuqasim Al-Quds" (A Knife Divides Jerusalem), a stark portrayal of a society fractured by settler violence. The third track, "West-Bank Story", introduces jazz-infused elements, reflecting on the dual nature of walls, both physical and metaphorical. The EP closes with "Lumpenravetariat", a powerful critique of the psychedelic community’s role in confronting social and political issues.

With its intricate rhythms and haunting sound textures, Something About Settler Colonialism offers a profound auditory experience, merging intense sonic experimentation with sharp socio-political commentary.

PicharknesS is born from dissociation.
From the impulse to translate that which cannot be put into words.
The discomfort, the emptiness, the introspection.
Driven by experimental, darkpsy and psycore, the sound does not follow lines, it cuts.

The proposal is simple: disconnect from the surface and dive inside yourself.
May the body be there, but the mind go far.
No promises of comfort, only surrender to the unknown that exists within each one of us.

PicharknesS nasce da dissociação.
Do impulso de traduzir aquilo que não cabe em palavras.
o incômodo, o vazio, a introspecção.
Movido pelo experimental, darkpsy e psycore, o som não segue linhas, ele corta.

A proposta é simples: se desconectar da superfície e mergulhar dentro de si.
Que o corpo esteja ali, mas a mente vá longe.
Sem promessas de conforto, só a entrega ao desconhecido que existe dentro de cada um.
