Lil Peep's Long-Awaited Goth Angel Sinner Is Out Just In Time For Halloween
What's a higher class of way to kick-off Halloween than with some new music from
Lil Peep's vault? For the spookiest day of the year, Lil Peep's estate has released a new EP from the late rapper,
Goth Angel Sinner. Originally reported in 2017, the project finally arrives steeped in swamp fog in twilight.
At only three tracks,
Goth Angel Sinner is brief. Nevertheless it's heavy on the atmosphere, the mystique, and the rawness that has made Lil Peep an once-in-a-generation artist that will forever be memorable. "Moving On' is soft, guitar-stroked rock led by Peep's voice that imitates a crying phoenix destined to be reborn out of its dying ashes. He raps about his love for his styrofoam cup as if its someone that he's cuddled up with watching a movie.
"Belgium" is equally smooth and stripped; a pattern of rattling 808 drums bring some balance to screeching guitars in the song's latter half. He vocalizes about being exceptionally shitty to a partner and it's like he's looking at the relationship from another perspective. Why is his partner still here? How come they take this treatment? His to-the-point lyricism really makes the idea stick.
Then there's any time I Lie," the final tune that's submerged in a river of rippling bass drums and grows harder and more concrete because the song goes on. Peep follows a woman who "cuts" him if he lies and wants to inflict pain on people who attempt to save her. He tells the story with an irritated glint in his eye that you could hear in his voice, as if he's reliving several crazy situations. In the video for the song that also came out today, Peep sits at a table and looks like he's prepared to take a nap. The camera angles, colors, and Peep's demeanor itself match the hazy intensity of the tune.
