The hyperpop trailblazers take sharp left-turns into pop-punk and nu-metal (and dig further down the ska well) on this whiplash-inducing jamboree

Pitchfork
The madcap duo’s second album is about many things—junk food, being dumb, the ska revival—but mostly it’s about two savants making pop music sound absurdly fun

‘10,000 gecs’ is a sub-thirty-minute blast of the duo at their best, creating some truly bonkers music and refusing to ever conform

Tantalisingly, this record also feels like the next building-block in a potentially genre-defining body of work. As much as we can’t wait for 100,000 gecs, however, there’s a mountain of fun to be had before we get there

While the mischievous twosome’s rambunctious revelry may appear wholly flippant upon first listen, their music, and 10,000 gecs as a whole, is far more sophisticated than it seems

If you love 100 gecs though you can’t get enough and fortunately there’s still enough here to say 100 gecs are a positive alt-pop force to be celebrated

With their triumphant return, 100 gecs gets the last laugh as they dance with silly abandon in loud, joyful protest alongside an arena full of fellow outlaws

There’s nothing you can do, upon listening to 10,000 gecs, but surrender to having just as much fun as Brady and Les are. 100 gecs’ second record has done it again: 2 Gecs, 2 Furious, 2 Genius

Succeeds as a cultural correlative, an audial reflection of modern-day life, as much as, perhaps more than, a purely aesthetic offering

More streamlined for tours and crowd singalongs. In many ways, 10,000 Gecs is consummately the album 100 gecs were supposed to make, and far from the worst possible version of that album to boot
