100 gecs sophomore album, 10,000 gecs, is a relentless, exhilarating assault on the senses.
The duo of Laura Les and Dylan Brady have doubled down on their signature hyperpop aesthetic, but with a heavier, more abrasive edge. Tracks like “Dumbest Girl Alive” and “Hollywood Baby” are exhilarating bursts of energy, blending pop sensibilities with industrial and punk influences. The result is a sound that is both familiar and utterly alien.
While the album’s brevity might leave some wanting more, it’s precisely this conciseness that contributes to its impact. There’s no filler here, just pure, unadulterated chaos. The album is a whirlwind of distorted vocals, ear-splitting synths, and infectious melodies.
However, the album’s relentless energy can be overwhelming at times. Some tracks blend together into a cacophony of noise, making it difficult to distinguish individual elements. Additionally, the album’s short length might leave listeners craving more depth and development.
Despite this, 10,000 gecs is a bold and audacious statement. It’s an album that will either make you want to dance or run for the hills. There’s no middle ground. Whether you love it or hate it, it’s impossible to ignore the impact of this album. 100 gecs have once again pushed the boundaries of pop music, creating a sonic experience that is both thrilling and divisive.
Ultimately, 10,000 gecs is a chaotic masterpiece that defies categorization. It’s an adrenaline rush that will leave you breathless, exhilarated and exhausted in equal measure.
