NME
These songs may be fraught with scrappy melodies and angsty melodrama, yet their creator’s determination to carve out and embrace a brighter future is palpable.

It would appear the acting worlds loss is the music community’s gain; ‘Motor Function’ is the start of something very special from a beguiling talent.

His ‘Motor Function’ EP may not stay around for a long time – all four tracks clock in satisfyingly under three minutes – but there’s a blast to be had along the way. Vibrant, excitable and impossible not to love.

High energy, loose as hell, fun, punchy, and charming are just a few descriptors I can give this EP. Binki put heart into this and it shows greatly, each song feels like a new world to explore. Very impressive.

binki is the definition of quality over quantity.

After 3 years of dropping random singles, binki finally releases a project. I think this is really good for a debut EP and he has a very bright future with his amount of talent and creativity.

absolute fifa heritage. Completely forgot about this for a while, but then I heard Landline in a random tik tok or smth and decided to see what album/ep it was from. After listening through Motor Function, I'm pleasantly surprised. Landline obviously stands head and shoulders above the rest, but clay pigeon certainly isn't a mediocre song by any means, and revolve and invisible fence end up being really solid tracks. Cool stuff. Songs 88, EP 87

Binki (stylized as binki) has amazing sounds

3/4 songs produced by SADPONY, one of the most talented producers of today. For me, he's a favorite. He produced Lil Yachty's 2021 album Let's Start Here, which changed my life so I will absolutely give SADPONY his flowers for that. On other projects, he still blooms and makes this album so enjoyable. Same with the other producers that should and will deserve flowers, Nate Donmoyer, SLATERS, SADPONY, Justin Raisen & Chasen Smith. ... read more
