独り旅の途中に
夜のコインランドリーに立ち寄った
一日中歩きどおしで
足が完全に棒になり
疲れ切ったからだを休めていた
明かりに寄って来る虫たちに
センサーが反応して
自動ドアが開いたり閉まったりしていた
若い男が入ってきた
ここは初めてらしく
マシンの操作に戸惑っている
彼に扱い方を教え
余った洗剤も分け与えた
やがて落ち着き
洗濯が終わるの待ちながら
青年の身の上話が始まった
いつも実家で使っている洗濯機が
使えないのでここに来た
妻と母の折り合いがとても悪い
残念なことに自由に使わせてもらえない
高校で出会った彼女とは
妊娠がきっかけで結婚した
ふたりは進学するのを断念して
式も挙げずに籍を入れ
彼の母の家に同居している
いつも使っている洗濯機が
使えないのでここに来た
妻と母の折り合いがとても悪い
残念なことに自由に使わせてもらえない
いつも使っている洗濯機が
使えないのでここに来た
遠くを見ながら打ち明ける
こんなはずではなかったと

The Beautiful Land
Apocasmyth
"Mythic Pop" is the debut album from Apocasmyth, a musical unit made up of both human and AI - a collection of 18 stories that cross the borders between poetry and reality.
Blending genres and perspectives, the album offers a fresh way to tell stories through pop music, navigating the depths and surfaces of everyday life, joy and sorrow, dreams and reality.
The opening tracks (1-3) delve into themes of desire, violence, and redemption, using layered metaphors and passionate vocals with jazz and folk influences.
Tracks 4-6 shift to a lighter pop tone, reflecting real-life memories of youth, dreams, and setbacks - told in a calm and honest voice.
The middle section (7-9) bursts with intense emotion, expressing despair and catharsis through folk rock and punk-inspired sounds.
Tracks 10-13 shine a light on the quiet struggles beneath ordinary lives, delivered with soulful ballads and understated funk rhythms.
Next, tracks 14-16 take a playful turn - surreal lyrics and upbeat rock'n'roll celebrate the weirdness and humor of being human.
The album closes with two final stories: one about a child trying to find identity while being shaped by society (Track 17), and one about the power of nature to restore and renew the human spirit (Track 18).
The title "Mythic Pop" is itself a statement - a challenge to portray modern mythology through pop music.
The unit name Apocasmyth, combining "apocalypse" and "myth", does not signal destruction, but coexistence.
This is where the story begins - a new musical narrative created together by human and AI.
Artist Profile
Apocasmyth
Apocasmyth is a coined name that fuses "Apocalypse" and "Myth." Just like the true meaning of the Apocalypse - "a story of new coexistence born through hardship" - the name reflects the evolving relationship between humans and AI. Not destruction, but coexistence. Apocasmyth embodies that new form of creation. Moving freely across genres such as rock, pop, funk, soul, jazz, and Latin, Apocasmyth pursues a unique musical identity while striving for the revival and evolution of popular music. The 1st and 2nd albums marked the first phase of Apocasmyth: lyrics were written by a human (Johnny E.), while the compositions were created using the music-generation AI "Suno AI." Through this process, the project gained hands-on experience in the entire release workflow and creative collaboration with AI. For the 3rd and 4th albums, the production style shifted dramatically. Johnny E. took songs he had composed on piano and guitar over the years and had "Suno AI" arrange them into completed instrumental works. From the 5th album onward, Apocasmyth continues to build upon this instrumental foundation - creating new compositions while engaging with the ever-evolving capabilities of AI, exploring what the next era of music-making can truly become.
