They’re currently in Seoul working on an electronic record—self-described as gangstalking/boarding school music—and, of course, building lore. Their drip is effortless and unique. Jeremy Scott Adidas, leather, and anime silhouettes. You should collect their singles “Pick6” and "Blackbird.”

before Skrillex was the american dubstep poster boy but after his time as lead singer for pop-punk/emo/screamo band From First to Last, there was a brief period where these two parts of his musical influence coalesced into vocal driven emo dubstep fusion and it was SICK. none of it was ever officially released and it only existed as low quality MP3s he put up on his myspace back in the day. these pre-skrillex tracks became somewhat legendary in the skrillex fan community and high quality remakes and edits circulated for years in lieu of studio quality versions of the real ones.
in this EP, underscores faithfully recreates songs from this era of the Skrillex fandom and pays homage to this little known but hugely influential part of Sonny Moore’s career. it’s actually insane how much these sound like the originals, down to the weird MP3 artifacts and synth growl sound design.
the songs are great in a vacuum but if you don’t know the originals here they are for a side by side

Building lore is crucial in this day and age. Sometimes not getting your picture taken at the function is ok. Refrain from posting banalities on your story when possible. Exercise deconstructive maximalism. Being an artist rather than an “Artist” is back, if you catch my drift.

Yes it’s true, I’m a Star Wars Prequels sympathizer. Cry about it. You are a midwit or probably too old to get it if you hate on them. Natalie Portman is great in them, and Hayden Christensen is not a bad actor, Anakin just has aspergers. I don’t cosign the Disney stuff.

Scott is an old friend from school. We bonded over Radiohead, Debussy, and making detail-oriented architectural rock music during the Spotify “bedroom pop” era. Scott is the type of musician who makes music constantly and releases it sporadically. He’s one of my favorite songwriters and an expert texturalist. Check out his single “No Changes,” the “Shelter Island Heights” EP, which I consider the classic era of his early work, or “One of a Kind,” my personal favorite.
