Multidisciplinary artist, Garzón Robie, has released his new single titled “PC CAFE,” featuring pioneering electronic musician CIFIKA, whose presence adds depth and nuance to the sound. “PC CAFE” explores the blurred boundaries between reality and the virtual, capturing the emotional texture of youth in the digital era: lethargy, repetition, connection, and survival.
Through dreamlike soundscapes, vocals that ripple like digital afterimages, and CIFIKA’s delicate sensibility, the track reinterprets fragments of online life with a fresh and unfamiliar gaze.Rooted in the uniquely Korean setting of a “PC bang” (internet café), the song transcends national and temporal borders to portray a universal youth experience. Keywords like Discord, gaming, caffeine, death, and rebirth drift across the rhythm, creating a surreal yet oddly familiar sonic landscape. Directed by Jaejun Kim, the music video delivers a message that prioritizes connection itself, regardless of whether it occurs in physical or virtual space.
Originally from Seoul and now based in London, Garzón Robie is a Korean indie artist known for his genre-fluid sound and inventive artistic visuals. He has spent the past four years carving out a distinct space as an independent musician, blending indie electronic, hip-hop, and alternative pop into a style uniquely his own.
