Japanese rock band coldrain have kept anticipation high, releasing three new tracks while touring their home country with the title kept under wraps. Now, the quintet unveils their new EP, ‘OPTIMIZE,’ a five-track release that defies the idea of a polished, streamlined world. It’s a call to live authentically—imperfect, unfiltered, and alive.
Written by Y.K.C and Masato, mixed by Sam Guaiana, and mastered by Mike Kalajian, ‘OPTIMIZE’ is an emotionally charged, genre-blending experience. The EP features the singles “INCOMPLETE,” “CHASING SHADOWS,” and “FREE FALL.”
‘OPTIMIZE’ EP Track List:
- OPTIMIZE
- CHASING SHADOWS
- DIGITOLL
- INCOMPLETE
- FREE FALL
Next month, coldrain will bring their ‘OPTIMIZE’ tour to the UK and Europe, performing in 17 cities with support from Revnoir and Noisemaker.
