100 Gecs, the duo of Dylan Brady and Laura Les, return with their highly-anticipated sophomore album, 10,000 Gecs. Following their breakout debut album 1,000 Gecs, the anticipation of their next body of work has been high and the band's teases have been plentiful. The new album is set to include previously released singles "Mememe" which has been described as "an ebullient carnival of ska-inflected verses that bounce off a chorus of thrash guitars and a squiggling synth line" along with the 90's alt rock-inspired "Doritos & Fritos," which The Fader noted is "unlike any other Gecs track before it." 100 Gecs planted their flag on the proverbial pop culture moon with 2019's 1,000 Gecs, which was heralded by The New Yorker as, "an impressively precise maximalist exercise with no rules" and "utterly unhinged in the best way possible" by GQ. After their world tour was postponed in the summer of 2020, Brady and Les kept rolling with the release of 1000 gecs and The Tree of Clues, a rework of the original album featuring collaborations from the likes of A. G. Cook, Fall Out Boy, Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, as well as crowd sourced contributions by fans. The transformative release was described by The NME as a "brain-melting, genre-crushing vision of pop's future."
