100 gecs ‘mememe’

100 gecs have returned with new single ‘mememe’. It’s the first to be lifted from their forthcoming second studio album ‘10000 gecs’, which is set to arrive early next year.

The duo’s latest builds on the off-kilter glitchcore they explored on 2019’s ‘1000 gecs’, with ‘stupid horse’-esque staccatoed guitar upstrokes and abrasive, blown out choruses.

‘Mememe’ arrives alongside a kaleidoscopic video that sees the band’s Dylan Brady and Laura Les adorned in wizard cl...

Manchester-born, London-based Alabaster DePlume releases third single I’m Good At Not Crying, ahead of his 8th studio album Gold, out on the 1st of April via International Anthem

Not to downplay her nod to disorientation induced by double catastrophe — global pandemic plus climate emergency’s colliding eco-traumas resonate all too eerily. “What would be your last gesture?” she asks.
