Courtesy of Brooklyn-based act Hypnagogic Garden, “Mysterium Cosmographicum” touts a creative pop sound with fun hooks throughout. The strings at 01:20 generate a sort of warm nostalgia (reminding me, at least, of Mario Kart 64). “Mr. Moon, I’m looking at you,” the vocals start during a briskly contagious section thereafter, where swift string usage and responsive backing vocals converge for a wholly memorable hook. Spacey synths close the track out with a mysterious glow. “Mysterium Cosmographicum” is an inventive delight from Hypnagogic Garden.
