If you've never heard any EDM in your life, maybe get out of the basement, and start here. What you hear in this album is not typical EDM, but a subgenere colloquially referred to as "queer-core" most notably derived from that of DIY punk rock music. This particular iteration of awesome is characterized by a moog, a set of drums, and a vocalist. When "Heavy Handed" came out in '19 there was no indication of the raw power that was to come by '25 in this outing. Taboo lyrical content and party anthem rhythm enough to get paraplegics on the dance floor, "Percepticide" is just what the music scene needed the last couple of years. So much sexual content a sailor might blush in "stamina" as you can watch above, to the heartbreak of "split" and the tracks "noise" & "gonna be faster" almost accomplishing dream pop. This album is eclectic and holds a sound for almost everyone. Some people may find what Pixel Grip does a little over the top and offensive, and to those folks I'd recommend a nice sit down in a quiet room where they aren't affected by anything from this era of civilization. Good luck trying to buy this. I think there's one copy on discogs for about 200 bucks. Maybe a second pressing is coming soon. Until then there's the KEPX show and previous albums on their website for sale.
