5 Sep
Summary
- Mixtape shifts from delicate sounds to hyper-cluttered 'rage 2.0' style.

- Influences range from MMORPGs and Linkin Park to Imogen Heap and Green Day.
L.A. producer-performer Lucy Bedroque has released 'Unmusique,' a mixtape that leans into the "rage 2.0" sound characterized by electric jolts and apocalyptic bass. This new direction moves away from the more delicate, fairy-sprite textures of his earlier work, embracing a hyper-cluttered, maximalist style akin to online rap bordering on EDM. The mixtape is Bedroque's first release on deadAir Records, a label he shares with artists like Jane Remover.
Originally emerging from the SoundCloud scene and associated with sigilkore and GREED, Bedroque previously explored "maplekore" with collaborator kaystrueno, creating impressionistic music inspired by the MMORPG MapleStory. These earlier works featured pastoral textures and conceptual depth. While 'Unmusique' retains hints of this charm, it largely prioritizes turbocharged rap production.
Influences on 'Unmusique' are wide-ranging, incorporating elements reminiscent of Imogen Heap, Linkin Park, and Green Day. The production credits feature a variety of collaborators including cranes, skai, ivvys, 9lives, and egobreak, all contributing to beats bespoke for Bedroque's distinctive vocal delivery.
