Bladee - EXETER
Posted: 11/9/2020 by Sam Bailey ( See All) Show:(2020) Bladee, the ringleader of the music collective Drain Gang, has dropped 2 projects in 2020 so far, 333 and EXETER. EXETER, 333's shorter, ethereal cousin, clocks in at around 20 minutes, a minimal span of time to achieve what Bladee accomplishes in this project. Bladee enlists Drain Gang collaborator Ecco2k for tracks WONDERLAND and LOVESTORY, two standout duet pieces on the project. Bladee's artist-defining autotune and synth-heavy production style seem to lighten up on all tracks throughout EXETER, leaving his vocals to not only float on top of the instrumental, but mesh within them and become an instrument itself. Bladee's lyrics, or mantras more specifically, are sparse and allow his instrumentals room to breathe, which is the main draw for most of Bladee's work to begin with. Overall, EXETER is a short project that ends up feeling like a full album's worth of content to tide the listener over until the next Bladee album, but shouldn't be overlooked as filler content in Bladee's discography purely for how much he has changed since 2019 alone.
