Great, Based on 3 Critics
Based on rating 7.5/10
What if a TIE Fighter blew up a gas station McDonald's? What if Cotton-Eye Joe had an amphibian friend with equally ambiguous comings and goings? What if dental woes necessitated a soul-ska ballad-anthem? These are but a few of the questions 100 gecs answers with their long-awaited major label debut, 10,000 gecs. But the question burning hottest at this album's core is whether resident gecs Laura Les and Dylan Brady can translate their internet meme-heavy collage pop from Redditor's headphones to the arena. 100 gecs make the type of music that is certain to get "kids these days" scorn from "TikTok is making us dumber" truthers.

Masked by a silly and chaotic outer layer, Missouri's 100 gecs are actually one of the sharpest projects around right now. The duo, made up of Laura Les and Dylan Brady, take hyperpop to its most maximalist form , pushing both 'hyper' and 'pop' to breaking point, creating emo-rave-distorted-beats with choruses ready for a stadium (times a million). Their 2019 debut '1000 gecs' saw critical acclaim, an album which flowed at breakneck speed, introducing the world to the true extent of gecs' madness.
