Lucy Bedroque
Los Angeles based nineteen year old Jeremiah Mark (they/he) released their first full-length endeavor under the moniker Lucy Bedroque, their deadAir Records debut. With no prior singles, the breakneck seventeen track shotgun blast of Digicore and Hardcore Hip Hop, titled âUnmusiqueâ has established them as a bastion of these underground sounds. The release date coincided with their first show on the Jane Remover and Dazegxd tour âTURN UP OR DIEâ, along with a full west coast run.
Leading up to this moment, Lucy Bedroque gained a cult following in the shadowy sectors of the online underground, with a break-out debut LP âSisterhoodâ as Lostrushi. This is the name that raised them to notoriety alongside peers 9lives, prettifun, and egobreak. The new material continues further down the same path, combining cutthroat rage, with the eclecticism and sensitivities of Stereolab, Radiohead, and Deftones.
While forging their distinct multi-media surrealism, Mark also found a penchant for customized linguistics and contorting the English language. Most notably, the title âGlutmotherâ (the name fans chose for a hyper-active Subreddit) graces the cover art of the debut and the packaging of âUnmusique. âThe role of motherhood here is representative of a superiority to everything around it. But beyond humans, itâs a reference to mother nature and creation.â They explain. As for why itâs juxtaposed with gluttony, thatâs because âPeople want more than anyone can handle, and Iâve responded to it with a perfectionistâs mindset.â They combine into a deep resonance of identity thatâd easily evade a new listener.
