Icing

TOKINE New Single "Icing "
When emotions remain overheated, every touch can make the pain spread further.

"Icing," the 11th release in TOKINE's 12-month consecutive project, was inspired by a state in which inflamed emotions are exposed to cold winter air and gradually cooled down.

Icing refers to a treatment used to reduce inflammation, and at the same time, it also implies freezing something so it can be preserved without melting.

As a heated wound is exposed to cold air,the warmth slowly fades away.
If that is the case, then perhaps the pain and the memories left behind can freeze together.
This song depicts such a way of placing and holding emotions.

The sound is built on cold, shuffling UK garage beats, with delicately placed elements standing out.
Produced by NUU$HI, the track's structure allows shimmering sounds to linger, giving the entire song a light sense of forward momentum.

Cooling the inflammation and easing the pain.
Freezing, so it will not melt.
Icing is a song that portrays one possible way of moving forward after loss.
