100 gecs - 1000 gecs and The Tree of Clues
Posted: 11/18/2020 by Sam Bailey ( See All) Show:(2020) 100 gecs knows what they're doing, and they're doing it well. Since the 2019 release of their first full-length, non-remixed album, "1000 gecs", the band's sound has been a combination of the works of both members, Laura Les and Dylan Brady. While the first release was iconic in its own right, it left the door open for many, many artists to come in and shake up the 100 gecs formula with their own style. Among some of the more famous artists on the remix album are Fall Out Boy, A. G. Cook, Injury Reserve, Dorian Electra, and Black Dresses, just to name a few. Along with 14 remixed songs, the band included some unreleased and live tracks from fishcenter to round it out with some all-new content. Some songs are changed completely in the remixing process, like "hand crushed by a mallet" becoming a pop-punk masterpiece in the hands of Patrick Stump and others, and "gecgecgec" becoming an absolutely incredible beat for Lil West and Tony Velour to rap over. If you thought the original "1000 gecs" album was a bit much to swallow, this may be a better place to start for an overall poppier sound that doesn't delve too deep into strong hyperpop territory, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any grating, mechanical sounding songs like the Black Dresses remix of "745 sticky" and N0thanky0u's "hand crushed by a mallet" remix, both borderline noise music pieces. With this in mind, "1000 gecs and The Tree of Clues" is a great look into the minds of Laura and Dylan, along with a fresh take on their work.
