100 gecs and the new sound of hyperpop
b'Everyone will describe the music of 100 gecs differently. To some, Dylan Brady and Laura Les make deeply satisfying earworms, tracks able to scratch the itches that occupy the deepest memory-holed corners of the brain. To others, though, their music is an "anarchic assault on the ears,\\u201d a quilt of all of the genres historically ridiculed in the popular canon: nu-metal, scuzz-rock, ska and 90\\u2019s pop punk are all fair game in the world of gecs.\\n\\nOn their latest record, aptly titled 10000 gecs, Brady and Les double down on the crunchy distortion and harmonics, creating tracks equally influenced by Primus and Eddie Van Halen as they are by their hyperpop contemporaries. The album reflects a Internet-core approach to music as a whole, shedding notions of \\u201cgood\\u201d and \\u201cbad\\u201d music in favor of catchy melodies and intricate song construction.\\xa0\\n\\nOn this episode on Switched On Pop, we dig deep into the ethos of 100 gecs, and producer Reanna Cruz talks to the duo themselves about their eclectic sophomore record.\\n\\nSongs discussed:\\xa0\\n\\n\\n100 gecs \\u2013 Hollywood Baby\\n\\n100 gecs \\u2013 Billy Knows Jamie\\n\\n100 gecs \\u2013 stupid horse\\n\\n100 gecs \\u2013 745 sticky\\n\\n100 gecs \\u2013 Doritos & Fritos\\n\\nPrimus \\u2013 Jerry Was A Racecar Driver\\n\\nWeen \\u2013 Bananas and Blow\\n\\nLimp Bizkit \\u2013 My Generation\\n\\nGorillaz \\u2013\\xa0Dirty Harry\\n\\nFuture \\u2013 I Been Drinking\\n\\nJ-Kwon \\u2013 Tipsy\\n\\nJustin Timberlake \\u2013 Summer Love\\n\\nViolent Femmes \\u2013 Added Up\\n\\n100 gecs \\u2013 Dumbest Girl Alive\\n\\nTHX Deep Note\\n\\nCypress Hill \\u2013 Insane in the Membrane\\n\\n100 gecs \\u2013 The Most Wanted Person in the United States\\n\\n100 gecs \\u2013 Frog on the Floor\\n\\nAlan Jackson \\u2013\\xa0Chattahoochee\\n\\nLimp Bizkit \\u2013 Dad Vibes\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
