75/100
A mixtape from wanna the most solid-build musicians and artists this decade. Quadeca managed to make a top 20 album in 2021 (From Me To You, solid one), and a top 10 album in 2022 (I didn't mean to haunt you, a record I still have a hard time describing - but easily wanna the biggest sonic artistic statements of the 2020s). No surprise, every new release sounds different but inspired. This new one, Scrapyard, is the most varied one yet, sparing from emo rap to shoegaze to art pop to psychedelic hip hop. At first, this feels like a drug trip but a cute one. The tape has its own flow and brings the listener along with it. The switch-ups in genres when it comes to single tracks (particularly Pretty Privilege) go over so well, and he continues to elevate it the deeper into the (scrap)yard ya go. Easier is emo-folk but with a flanger that makes it sound trippier and honestly it tastes and feels good, and then gets a slow trap hi-hat drum, but then is a hypnagogic pop song. Even If I Tried is a Playboi Carti-styled song, but is buried under noisy synths that float on a cloud 1 kilometer too high in altitude, and we are taking to them for sonic clarity in the second half that exceeds the first. The stream-of-consciousness lyricism displayed on What's It To Him oddly conveys the musical sphere that is going on underneath, a mixture of Cloud Rap and more hypnagogic pop, though not in the sense of what it sounds like on paper. Again, Qua outdoes any average composer's expressions. The utterly wonderful melodic progression on U Don't Know Me Like That, mixed with trippy-pitched vocals and cutsy synth drums is like a warm nostalgic summer dream, and the autotune is something adopted from Bladee's universe. And the same can be said about I Make It Look Effortless, basically Exeter's 10th song. Every single throwback rapper of this era that is not Joey Bada$$ gets their ass handed to them on Way Too Many Friends, because this dynamic mix of 90s hip-hop drums and that piano, literally sounds forward-thinking even in 2024. But that's because of Ben's filters of driven delivery, as well as his way of writing a melody that syncopates on beat, truly excellent. Guess Who contains a dose of electronic effects, both the hi-hat and synth lines, and the only low point on the tape. No means terrible like most of its brothers and sisters, but terrible for Scrapyard's standards. Under My Skin is a deconstructed late-era XXXTentacion-tune, with a reverb as choir, some snares as musical flashing lights, and a drenched violin as thunder strikes. Being Yourself might be the most surrealistic song here, and if I didn't notice it, my enjoyment wouldn't be as strong, but this is a David Lynch short movie in music form, and it's like it gets druggier by the minute as the music is copping out...until there is 20 seconds of rhythmic cop-out. This is unbelievable. Right after that, we go electronic bleeps coupled with laughing ASMR-style vocal engineering on U Tried That Thing Where Ur Human, is this still Quadeca? Or is he just on another level... Either way, this is the song that, comparable to the experience of insane colorful magnitudes, is the moment of lying on the shore, half-passed out and the sun reaching your consciousness here and there. It connects to Guide Dog which is the most accessible song here, a straight indie slacker folk tune, worthy of early Bright Eyes and Dashboard Confessional. The drug trip concludes on Texas Blue, and it isn't as amusing as the previous, however, it definitely belongs here because it is in family with the un-pigeonholable compositions that preceded it.
All in all, I am in awe of Ben's passion and unapologetic way of creating idealistic music, going beyond stereotypical sub-genres and experimental cliches. Though not as much conceptual depth and storytelling as IDMTHY, and even if the replayability isn't as strong as the compositions themselves, the tape is rewarding when I do feel the need to relisten. Rarely since Gorillaz has someone consistently mixed so variable genres into so fascinating and original musical recipes. [First added to this chart: 03/08/2024]
