    I want to hear more from them too, but you gotta remember, the mystery is often better than the reality.

    Look at what happened to Jay Elec after he dropped his album. Hype gone.

    These guys especially Jai have had immense, immense pressure on them for a decade now. They may not care for it, per se, but expectations have been placed on them.

    And the whole ordeal about his demo album being stolen and leaked. I could see him not wanting to make music again after that. It's like a trauma.

    you're right, I do understand it and it's really not up to us
    I just feel like they don't miss and even if they dropped something to average reception, they'd still be considered goats

  • Yup. I think among audiophiles they're already GOATs or occupy special territory. Like it's insane how much influence Jai has had on pop music, even before the leak dropped officially. Sampled by Drake and Beyonce, endorsed by many more. Off the strength of a couple songs.

    That's a lot of recognition in a short time for a recluse...

    Jay Elec’s mystery dwindled when he made that highschool tier Discord rather than the drop of AWT & for me, their mystery card evaporated when they made instagrams, ak doing interviews and jai f***ing up the release of the jasmine vinyl

    that Jay Elect sample is so weird cuz there's odd parallels between them. Jay dropped a polished album only to have the original one leak, while Jai dropped a polished album after the leak.

    Also I agree with the sentiment of this post but I feel like Jay Elect's chosen genre has a way less forgiving audience imo

    it’s unfair how good this dude is at music

  • Mar 6, 2021

    like bro I just sit here and listen to these leaked demos and s*** is just mind blowing how someone even like finds all these wild ass sounds and has the brain to put them together like this in a way that works musically

  • Mar 6, 2021

    I can’t ever understand what it would feel like to have all this s*** you were working on spilled out to the public and I get how destructive that must’ve been to how much he enjoyed music

    But he’s so f***ing special

    listening to Hira's Red Light Drive and there's this part ("in the mist outside i can't see the lines") that keeps reminding me of Usher's OMG (specifically the bit in the prechorus like "oh my goood i'm sooo in love")

    yep

    This man made a career out of a myspace single and a leaked album, and it still hits today and feels original.

    Not saying it's a bad thing but he's definitely put on weight

    Yeah I see it it really doesn’t look bad tho

    Remember he was mad young in most of the pics we’ve seen of him
