Jake Andrews

By blending emo rap, early-aughts emo, indie rock, and hyperpop, Jake Andrews created a frantic concoction that manifested in songs like “thirty dollar t shirt” and “heather.” But he cut through the noise with his pen, which was far ahead of the curve for his age. There’s a video game-like joy to these songs, which transform and level up and buckle against their own weight with each passage.
