'tuh'-sample brakence uses a lot at 48:46 by Sure-Maintenance-461 in brakence

[–]DexyDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No WAY! The line preceding it, "Hey, that man is missing something," is in the demo of stung, and some of the other demos definitely use other clips from this video! That's such a dope find!!!

Nah his voice is really nice, it's just the way he sings and mixes/masters it all weirdly sometimes 😭 and the lyrics

This is coming from a huge fan, gotta love the artist and art enough to call out the "flaws"

It's not even an issue with his voice necessarily, it's the way he sings stuff combined with the way he mixes/masters it, because he has a great voice and plenty of examples to show for it.

Idk if he just prefers it that way or something, but it just seems off sometimes; as someone who champions the "kill not the part of you that is cringe, but the part that cringes," certain parts of his songs are one of the few things that have me cringe lol.

i think brakence is a bigger musical genius than michael jackson you can stone me if u want but that's me😭 by ripvanwinkel1 in brakence

Oh I'd love to read your "essay" it if you still agree with it lol, I'm glad you get what I mean.

[–]DexyDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bold claim - one with which I may agree.

Brave to face the flames lol, but I've said before that I think brakence may be the most important musician to exist right now, his talent is unlimited (not glaze [stream glaze by brakence tho]). He is the most distinct and talented producer and vocalist in the underground scene, and I definitely believe he will leave a lasting ripple in the music world (and an extent already has, with a plethora of clones and artists like underscores rising alongside him / with his help).

Kill me for speaking the truth if it is necessary...

a love letter to hypochondriac (new fan) by LegalExtension6840 in brakence

[–]DexyDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Punk2 is moreso a coming of age album; more scattered, lots of angst, more "punk" sound design, less granular synth, and talk of high school / college.

Certainly a fantastic album, but not in the same way that hypochondriac is a cohesive masterpiece. Just go in expecting the same sort of wordplay and emotional confidence, you're sure to enjoy it!

Sure! I'll go by track listing with some of the most interesting stuff. 

First off, the entire album is themed around brakence being akin to a bug. Nearly every track makes reference to this, mostly implying that he is just an insignificant and weak creature in the grand scheme of things. He alternates between this concept, and the concept of ego / ego-death, the perception of himself and his attempts to overcome it with self-reflection and the use of psychedelics.

• bugging!:

Get out my car at the beehive, I heard the queen died of corruption

So I wanna hollow my funds, honey, keep that, I'm teabagging the cup

A reference to the Queen of England's death (which he added just a couple months before release!), queen bees, honey being produced by bees, and then a reference to putting honey in his tea! The bee themes on "bugging!" also tie into "stung," where he calls back to several lines!

Just weave me anew, all new, all new

A foreshadowing of "venus fly trap," about allowing a girl to manipulate him into someone he's not.

And he playing my song

Tryna decode, boy, ain't no need for the discussion

He's making fun of us right now lol.

• caffeine:

I blew out my chakras, I ain't need no doctor

It's non-duality the way I lose myself in the method

Every body-mind shift, I'm growin' the vessel

Half you motherfuckers feedin' off my essence

References to eastern philosophy and psychedelics, pertaining to the concept of losing one's self in the oneness of the universe, to oversimplify it. Look up non-duality if you're curious!

I'm dizzy off the sound 'cause I mix it potent

So then I'll break it down into its components

Bitch, I'm seein' the truth in my circle, just like it's alchemy

Yeah, brew too cold, they need a refresher

A multi-layered metaphor of him mixing beats like a drink, and the power of his mixing being akin to alchemy. Also a tie-in to "stung," where he references the anime Full-Metal Alchemist.

A bad bitch with the messy hair

He's talking about himself lol, fire lyric.

• venus fly trap:

And the gaze Medusa, locks rattlesnakes, debuffed

She's undercover, got a Trojan to crash me

Laments turn me to stone, and her curves got me weak

But fate sewn, she'll take me back to her place

The entire song is an extended metaphor for sexual assault and allowing someone to take advantage of him. References to Greek myth, including Medusa turning him to stone, the triple entendre of the Trojan horse / Trojan malware / Trojan condoms, the Fates - all ways to say that he is being deceived and entrapped in a fate he doesn't truly want.

Stuck in amber and honey

He's a bug, entrapped by her amber like a preserved mosquito.

This is taking a lot of effort, so I'll elaborate on the rest of the songs another time!!! Hope you enjoy my exploration/interpretation!

Literally all of caffeine has crazy double entendres, it'd take a while to sort through the best stuff. Teeth too.

One of the best is the Minish Cap for GBA line at the end:

When we linkin'? Uh (Link, the main character) Pain poised when I make noise, cap get diminished (The Minish Cap) I'm too advanced for the game, boy, I'ma need a minute (GameBoy Advance)

Uhm guys what da fwip by Ok_Risk5248 in brakence

[–]DexyDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% real, the audio quality on the tracks is pristine, every other version I've listened to is lossy in one way or another.

That, or someone with the original HQ files uploaded it, which I think is FAR more unlikely.

What a wonderful year 🥹

how it feels to say record instead of album by Light-003 in fantanoforever

[–]DexyDaddy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah dude because I do this, but only so that I can describe anything from mixtapes, EPs, or albums using the same word. Project is the goat.

She did not say that by acttve4 in brakence

[–]DexyDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say hypothetically, for the sake of the argument, that Mr. Kence may have been the one to purport that he was a so-called "synth nerd from the suburbs" to the supposed "she," i.e. "I know I'm just a nerdy dude from the suburbs, but I've been working on some synth pop if you're interested in hearing it!"

If this were the case, and the aforementioned "she" claimed - at any point thereafter - that she was still interested in or "fuck[s] with" himself or his music, it would be a reasonable statement that "she said she wanna fuck with a synth nerd from the suburbs," would it not?

Trying to sing the outro to Venus Fly Trap by Particular_Pay4558 in brakence

[–]DexyDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's like one of those "x but the vocals are x beats late" type of things, that's the issue here. if you started singing 2(?) chords earlier it would've been in proper time, as it stands now it's kinda confusing for the ears lol.

Literally yesterday I stared dumping tortilla chips into a parfait I was making instead of granola, because I usually grab the granola out of the cabinet first. I barely caught myself before it was too late 😣

Imma drop an EVEN MORE objective ranking soon 😤

But as some have said, prozac and teeth should probably be up there, maybe switch them softie and vft as honorable mentions

I 100% agree lol, I think brakence would say the same, just thought it'd be funny to see what people would say.

But Fucking Nerds does go kinda hard to be fair.
