Quadeca has been on quite the artistic streak lately, and his latest mixtape, featuring various leftover tracks from his last two albums as well as some from his upcoming release, demonstrates that even these leftovers can be remarkable. "SCRAPYARD" exhibits a continuation of the futuristic and expansive bedroom sound that Quadeca has been experimenting with since his 2021 album "From Me to You." The album is filled with breathtaking performances, production, and ideas, making it hard to believe these are just leftover tracks. For instance, "Easier" is a bossa nova-inspired folktronia track, "Way Too Many Friends" revolves around a boom bap beat, and "Texas Blue" presents an expansive and evolving chamber and progressive pop sound. However, what truly sets this mixtape apart is the sheer variety of influences Quadeca explores. From Black Country New Road to post-emo acts, we witness a wide array of ideas being played with, leaving me eagerly anticipating what Ben's new album cycle will bring.

Not an easy one to pin a genre down on but it falls somewhere between experimental hip hop and art pop with an overall melancholic and longing atmosphere. Features great production and some really nice use of noisey elements that work very well with the sad vibes and the melodic vocals. Somehow makes me think of Brockhampton at times but way more down and experimental on average. The vocals aren't the greatest execution wise but somehow it adds charm to the project as a whole. DUSTCUTTER, U DONT KNOW ME LIKE THAT, GUESS WHO? and TEXAS BLUE are highlight tracks for me.

Quadeca delivers another scattered record made of many many influences stitched together like a monstrous teddy bear. There are flashes of brilliance when he strikes the right balance between the emo rap influences and the hyperpop ones, but these are lost among moments that are given next to zero room to breathe.
