Lucy Bedroque

Los Angeles-based nineteen-year-old Jeremiah Mark (they/he) released their first full-length project as Lucy Bedroque, their deadAir Records debut. With no prior singles, the breakneck, seventeen-track blend of Digicore and Hardcore Hip Hop, Unmusique, established them as a bastion of these underground sounds. Its release coincided with their first show on the Jane Remover and Dazegxd tour, TURN UP OR DIE, along with a full West Coast run.

Before this, Lucy Bedroque gained a cult following in the shadowy sectors of the online underground with a breakout debut LP, Sisterhood, released as Lostrushi. That name brought them notoriety alongside peers 9lives, prettifun, and egobreak. The new material continues down the same path, combining cutthroat rage with the eclecticism and sensitivities of Stereolab, Radiohead, and Deftones.

While forging their distinct multimedia surrealism, Mark also developed a penchant for customized linguistics and contorting the English language. Glutmother—the name fans chose for a hyperactive subreddit—appears on the cover art of their debut and on the packaging of Unmusique. “The role of motherhood here is representative of a superiority to everything around it. But beyond humans, it’s a reference to mother nature and creation,” they explain. The juxtaposition with gluttony reflects that “People want more than anyone can handle, and I’ve responded to it with a perfectionist’s mindset.”

Artful, self-produced Digicore songs are woven into a credits list that resembles a guide to online underground music. SKAI (Ken Carson, Osamason producer) and Cranes (xaviersobased, Nettspend) also underpin hooks and multi-octave vocal acrobatics.
