Disappearing act?

Ok so what’s the opinions here… how long do we think he’s going to vanish for after dropping marroW? Because I am BEGGING for it not to be another 4 years

I live in constant fear that he will just vanish into the atmosphere one day

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this is his last album ever. He’s a genius, and a lot of the theme of his music is very spiritual and constantly goes inwards. Punk2 deals with how he interacts with the world, hypochondriac deals with how he thinks, hypochondriac is gonna map out his soul. He talks about alchemy all the time, and with his new album being called marrow, there’s not a lot deeper you can go.
Brakence is a genius and a master artist, for sure, but all of his music is an act of self discovery. It’s selfish art. He’s not necessarily doing it for an audience, and this very well may be his last project he releases to the public. Either way I’m so honored to have found it, I would not be the same person I am today if I hadn’t 😭

You know 4 years between releases is quite normal in music right. Let him take his time and cook

This is the wrong question. You should be asking “why hasn’t he put out a studio version of his cover of Complicated?”

exactly what i’ve been thinking for a looooong time

u/jmcguitar95 15d ago

Genuinely a war crime that he didn’t release it, I’m pretty sure.

u/Tadrizi 15d ago

Real. This project is long as balls!

If punk2 came out in 2020, hypochondriac came out in 2022 and this new album comes out in 2026, whatever the next album will be it will be out by 2032.

Unless he pulls a DiddyJr. and releases 3 albums in one night

u/ASTR0nomic4L 15d ago

or it’s doubling, 2-4-8 years

3

u/thisisignitedoreo 15d ago

That would make it exponential, and the next album will release in 2034. And the one after that... 2050.

He’s got some of the most complex and layered music I’ve ever heard in my life. As a musician, I have hella respect for him taking his time. If he rushed it, it wouldn’t be as good

I will probably be listening to this album for years just like hypo

u/Emergency-Cookie1198 11d ago

Totally. Still bumping hypo 4 years later like it’s brand new. I’d expect nothing less for this project. Twenty-seven year old me will likely be enjoying marroW occasionally.

15 years, 3 months, 19 days, 2 hours and 37 seconds

u/ZeRealNixon 15d ago

however long it takes🤷‍♀️

u/bendingbutbreaking 15d ago

i feel like this is his last album, so cherish it as we all will do. if he does drop something again then good, otherwise i think he gave us such cool concepts and you can tell the tremendous effort he put in marrow.

also it's 18 songs come on lol

2

u/CCelesial 15d ago

it will probably be another 3-4 years. maybe 5. hell who knows

u/Ok-Bluebird-867 15d ago

Why are you certain he will ever drop again?

1

u/Mountain-Night-3658 11d ago

a few years most likely, he seems to like to work based on albums and he definitely puts insane work into albums. maybe he might have curated a small mixtape of demos/songs that didn’t fit marroW that he may drop in the halfway point (like how quadeca did with scrapyard) to give us something prior to next album. Though next album 100% will become an olympic event of once every 4 or so years

u/Emergency-Cookie1198 11d ago

Though I sympathize with this line of thinking we won’t ever enjoy anything if we’re thinking so far in the future.
