How do these people only have like 2 songs on streaming in 3 years have they never dropped a project

They're all under the Jai & A.K umbrella and mindset of working on tracks for years and refining them.

Check out Hypothalmus by Ruthven, the layers, vocal production, mixing is simply stunning. Guitar licks that sound like 80's Prince. It's pretty incredible what the Institute has put out.

waste of money

Fabiana next pls 🥺

still cant believe this song is real tbh

Me too fam. I'd love to hear Paul production in mainstream music one day, just to see the reaction of the general public. I love that little shot AK took on BBC yesterday.

"When you make innovative music, it's harder to navigate the industry"

fr man, their influence is commonplace at this point but damn, just imagine them getting in the studio with a real heavy hitter, or even a frank or a miguel type (except this time actually be credited )

they could change the trajectory of pop music even more than they already have

people are scared of pop music moving in a direction that outreaches their level of skill/expertise, it’s really as simple as that

drums on a glover song aint enough

That Frank link up is possible considering HIRA & Vegyn are boys.

I don't think their current sound is something Frank seems to be going for recently however I'm certain they can switch it up to fit the needs. Imagine their take on Detroit disco or house.

Exciting times ahead!

Fr fr. Pop music today is so slow and droning, these guys are literally making "cyberpunk pop" the industry wouldnt know what to do with it. Probably water it down a bit.

Thank you Mr. Hadley very insightful

JUST LISTEN TO STR8 OUTTA MUMBAI BRO

HOW DID HE PUT THESE SOUNDS TOGETHER

THIS NIGGA REALLY THE FUTURE OF MUSIC

i got clowned playing that the other day smh. people still arent ready for the paul sound

extremely trivial but i dont get why the official version of genevieve has the new extended part so poorly mixed in tbh

i wonder how the people in PI get money
like do they work normal jobs

what i've come to realize is that the pauls, jai especially are headphone artists — the nuances of their sound design don't translate as well on speakers.

i would think str8 outta mumbai would get people moving though

A. K. said Ruthven is no longer a firefighter and does music full-time. Fair to say the same for most of the other members.

yea they played it on a tv so it didnt hit. all those layers and techniques dont translate on s***ty tv speakers

well their properly mixed/mastered songs sound phenomenal on speakers, it’s just that the mix of bait ones is, well, non-existent lmao

ruthven used to be a firefighter by day, AK just said in his interview now ruthven is able to focus on music full-time

but yea not exactly sure how they’re earning enough money lol

i played he too and it got called mid. cant please everyone it seems

and then you find out those songs were made a decade ago

damn lmao

every single person ive ever played btstu for loses their s***

i played that to someone and got a poker face. im cursed. no one i know cares about music though so maybe thats why
