![]() It’s like he’s trying to be two different artists at the same time which affects his sound dramatically. It’s far more confusing than anything, like I mentioned in the beginning, Darkie is conflicting. I know, I just sucked off Darkie for inputting some diversity in his music, but that doesn’t mean it’s all that great. The Lo-Fi production doesn’t grip me the same way the banging songs do which is also disappointing, I think the best example is “dreaming”. In the track “do more drugs” this text-to-speech bot repeated “do more drugs” and it became annoying and felt cheap. Some tracks are underwhelming and even a little corny with their production choices. The glitched vocals mixed with a zany cartoonish delivery results in a unique track that can’t be replicated by other artists. “GO!” is alarming, ominous, and obtrusive. I liked the chaotic beats far more than the previously mentioned “vibe” tracks because I think it fits Darkie the best. ![]() I’ll go further into detail about his vocals in another segment but it’s still a nice decision to diversify. Seriously, it is cool how he can go from a banging track like “BAM!” to a softer calm, vibey track with slick bedroom pop production. Darkie has always been someone who has tried to focus on versatility, and he doesn’t disappoint on that aspect for this EP. The beat selection fits perfectly with the energy and tone, not just that but there is a wide range of sounds going on in a small project which is impressive. Wow, do some of these tracks have interesting production choices. So I’ll be going over every aspect of the EP, I want to be fair and start with the positives because I was somewhat mean in the beginning. Much hasn’t changed from what I was used to, both the positives and negatives remain in Darkie’s music. ![]() After a while, I stopped following the guy’s music and I haven’t heard a single song from him in two years, until now. It never made sense to me, Darkie came off as someone who doesn’t care about anything but at the same time was extremely preachy and pretentious. Darkie’s personality became quickly annoying and intolerable, like the more I explored his catalog the more I found myself frustrated. It’s like someone smashed a mirror in front of me and showed the wall behind it. Lil Darkie with the help of Wendigo was able to make some pretty fun ignorant music for me, but after a while, something happened. ![]() I have a pretty weird history with this guy, during 2020 I started checking out a lot of Spidergang’s music and at the time I was super into the trap metal scene. Lil Slur User made a new EP and I was never as curious about anything musical-related until now. ![]()
