One of those new acts that I have next to no knowledge or information about, I don't even how to render this person or band in romaji. Would it be Contego or Kontego（コンテゴ）? I'll go with the former for now. Enquiring minds want to know (if any of you know [including the performer], please inform me). In any case, Contego has had their YouTube channel since late 2024 and an album has been available on Amazon Music.
Titled "Tokai no Kaze ni Yureru Glitch Pop"（都会の風に揺れるグリッチポップ... Glitch Pop Swaying in the City Breeze）, I don't know whether this track on this September 2025 album "Taxi no Light ga Nijinda Machikado" (A Street Corner Where the Taxi Lights Blurred) is an example of glitch pop. However, it is a pleasant and nostalgic technopop song with some nice popping beats percolating like bubbles in soda pop. If you take a look at Amazon Music, you'll find that all of the tracks read like some pretty heavy duty adjectival phrases, just like this one. Again, if anyone can give us some more information on Contego, that would be greatly appreciated.
Hey, J-Canuck!「コンテゴ」 looks like the latin word 「contego」which primarily means “to cover up,” “to conceal,” or “to hide,” but can also refer to “shielding,” “protecting,” or “clothing.”
ReplyDeleteThat would probably be an appropriate word for this act since they've been keeping a very low profile.
