Chicago producer Angel Day, known as Yesterdayneverhappened, has released their second album, "search bar." This 22-minute electronic suite is a vibrant fusion of breakcore, footwork, and jungle, deeply influenced by anime and video games.

"Jungle instruction video," a standout track, expertly blends dancehall and reggaeton influences, culminating in a powerful sonic experience. The album reflects a journey of confronting external chaos and finding triumph in the dawn.
