BIO 'CONSTRUCTED LAND'

Constructed land awakens, it takes you into a cosmic playground, a world constructed and floating on own observations. With 'Constructed land' Cosmic U presents a mix of moody, sometimes alarming played guitars and playfull but yet gentle vocals with a touch of incantatory, mystical atmospheres.
