With “10,000 Gecs,” 100 Gecs has reached a “South Park” level of brilliant absurdity. Read the review here:
. While it’s not hard to imagine the hardly-serious duo of Laura Les and Dylan Brady doubled over with laughter when these things started happening, now it’s almost like the joke’s on them.
Strangest of all, this adulation has taken place largely without new music. Since the May 2019 release of “1000 Gecs” — the galvanizing debut album that announced their arrival to the wider world with a comically autotuned jolt — they’ve dropped a remix album, a Christmas single , a few features and a three-song EP that is just over six minutes long.
And the music is as casually genius as ever, arguably reaching its innovative peak on “Doritos and Fritos” with a riff that is an almost mathematically precise pileup of metallic guitar harmonics and feedback, and some hilarious ghost-moans and grunts that I guess you could consider backing vocals. On “757,” it’s hard to tell if a segment is Les’ voice through a twisted autotune or a Van Halen-style finger tapping guitar solo.
The duo romp through 10 songs in 23 and a half minutes — but there’s so much going on that the album feels considerably longer than it actually is. The longest song, the preposterous “I Got My Tooth Removed” — about exactly that — goes from off-key power ballad to ska pastiche to hyper-punk to anguished autotuned power ballad and back, adding and shedding musical elements every couple of seconds.
100 Gecs pack more ideas into 23 minutes than most artists who release 70+-minute-long albums. With “10,000 Gecs,” the duo has reached a “South Park” level of brilliant absurdity.
