COBRAH

COBRAH is an eccentric artist from Sweden. The queer performer makes electronic bangers heavily influenced both by her experience in the kink, vogue, and punk communities. As such, her music is inherently political and personal. Cobrah's single, "IDFKA," an acronym for "I don't fucking know anymore," culls those initial inspirations and channels them into a song that feels like a rallying cry against increasingly troubled times. On one hand, the song's lyrics and Cobrah's intentionally deadpan delivery address defeat, but the sinuous production itself is motivating -- from the dancefloor (or dungeon, if that's what you're into) to the streets. Considering the latter point, "IDFKA" transforms into a call from apathy to action. Its video, a trippy 3D animation co-directed with artist Erik Hellmouth sees Cobrah as a sexual cyborg of sorts making her way through what looks like a bloodstream.
