Toy Shoulders, formally known as Beaker, weaves us through his latest dream in his latest post-trap, melodic instrumental dubbed “Hypocognition”. The bass track fuses odd synth/vocal chops with hard-hitting Reeses and 808s. It submerses you only to bring you back up again for some fresh air. The synth pluck lead adds a nice flourish a third of the way through to give you something to latch onto as your mind is thrown around.
Hypocognition, in cognitive linguistics, means missing and being unable to communicate cognitive and linguistic representations because there are no words for particular concepts. Frequently, while listening, one feels like they should understand something, but it’s just on the edge of their understanding. The sounds are just familiar enough, yet can’t be placed. The track is one part day dream, one part nightmare, and is definitely worth at least one listen!
