Okay, THIS is a good wintry-chill-rap album.
Disappointed with "Eversince" from Bladee, i tried this. But this is fucking great!
Bladee and Ecco2k are friends and they influenced each other, so many aspects of this album remind of the debut album from Bladee: the chilly landscapes, the glacial trap hi-hats, the fragile lyrics...
But Ecco2k has much more talent than his friend Bladee. His lyrics are fragile, but not dumb like the Bladee's.
The phonosymbolic aspects of this album are also much more solid: his performances are fragile, highly expressive and very delicate; the instrumentals are among the most cold i've ever listened to, to describe his solitude and his lack of trust in himself; the glitchy/industrial effects have the aim to describe his depression (industrial) and his alienation caused by drug use (glitch).
This album is highly personal, immediate, sad, fragile and delicate. It is wintry to mirror the winter in Ecco2k's heart, it is very lonely and sometimes desperate.
Beautiful.
Favorite tracks: "Fruit Bleed Juice" (my favorite, sad about its short runtime), "AAA Powerline", "Peroxide", "Fragile", " Cc", "Calcium", "Time"
Worst track: "Sugar & Diesel" (it is good, but a bit generic imo)
