Brakence is back with new music. It’s his first proper release since 2022’s Hypochondriac, that glitchy, genre-melting record that turned him into a cult figure for kids who wanted their pop songs cracked open and rewired. And it’s been a minute.
For the uninitiated: Hypochondriac was the moment. Tracks like "5g" and "deepfake" fused hyperpop chaos with real emotional weight, and the whole thing felt like watching someone build a new language in real time. Before that, punk2 hinted at where he was headed, all restless energy and shifting textures.
So a new drop matters. Three years is a long stretch for an artist who moves this fast, and the anticipation has been building across every corner of his fanbase. What form the next chapter takes is still coming into focus.
But if the past is any guide, expect something dense, strange, and built to reward repeat listens.
Brakence doesn’t do small. This should be a stunner.
