About the Band
ИΞOlicious
Artist
ИΞOlicious is the physical embodiment of entropy, blending archaic grace with destructive randomness in their musical image that leaves fans with more questions.
For a year now ИΞOlicious has been teasing their debut album “LΞT IT BΞ ИIGHT” an electronic Avant-pop body of work filled with ethereal synths, inner dialogue, and surreal lunar escapism. It’s recently released first single “Entropic Cycle” is an epic experimental pop anthem that carries grand psychedelic choruses that feel as if riding a rollercoaster in a twinkling starry night of optimism, which then swoops down to an emotionally low of vulnerable verses. ИΞOlicious has been self-producing the album for 2 years already and plans on releasing its title track with a music video in spring of 2026. Oddly enough though, while producing the album they were also making a tangent era of work intended to be put out before the
“LΞT IT BΞ ИIGHT” era.
On January 9th, 2025, they independently released their first EP “Jusst Stop” a post-rock/grunge conceptual story about an angsty lonely teen who ends up moving the alpine mountains where existentialism and loneliness worsen. Feeling so isolated with no where to go the teen starts making friends with the forest spirits eventually discovering a witch cult actively recruiting anyone with a dark soul to become witches as well. At night they lure both victims and applicants by playing metal flutes that sound eerily enchanting. The teen has to resist the urge to join otherwise there will be no going back to the warmth of life. Just remember this: if it feels like nothing matters anymore, even an angsty teen still has an amber of hope in their anarchist heart.
ИΞOlicious born Neo Darbinyan Norton on August 7th, 2007, in Glendale California, was heavily inspired and obsessed with the Splatoon series made by Nintendo and its soundtracks. In fact, they were so hyper fixated on the music production of it, that as an early teen they were exclusively listening to Splatoon music (as well as Kirby and Zelda) until discovering indie/hyperpop playlists on Youtube and Spotify at age 16 notably intrigued by artists like Dorian Electra, Hana Vu, and underscores; thus, ИΞOlicious actually started producing music a year before discovering their favorite artists. However, there was one music artist they were listening to throughout the video game fixation and before by the name of Manizha: a Tajik refugee now a goodwill ambassador helping women by making Russian pop and folktronica with a powerful singing voice and message. Neo was particularly entranced by her song “ИЗУМРУД” meaning emerald. Always listening to it in the car, one day they were especially mesmerized and engulfed by all the synths, sounds, and vocals; at that moment they decided they wanted to start producing songs as well. Neo loved the use of esoteric concepts and cultural expression in Manizha’s work. Neo always had a strong spiritually empathetic identity with many lucid experiences of premonition, though this deep connection to people but also disconnect from the physical plane has caused emotional dysregulation to be a major struggle in their life. Although they’ve never been officially diagnosed with any specific mental disorder, Neo has stated that they feel like an empath that’s forced to be unemotional with the way they interact with the world in order to see things clearly without going insane.
ИΞOlicious’ goal is to create stories with music that explore the mind, all the miscommunication, and the misunderstanding, to show the third side of the story that is often dragged into absurdity between the 2 other sides. They have a unique ability (perhaps from finally becoming one of those witches) to plan things way ahead of time in chronological succession while still remaining flexible. Neo has many albums with full track lists, aesthetics, music video, and philosophies neatly charted in their mind with an abundance of new projects forming. So, sit back and relax for music block will never be a creative issue from ИΞOlicious. Only time will be stretching things out accordingly.
ИΞOlicious’ debut album “LΞT IT BΞ ИIGHT” will be released sometime in the middle of 2026 and will be diving deep in the human condition and psychology of disorientation.
