Avoid

Avoid captures the quintessential sound of the GothBoiClique collective at its creative peak. The track is built around a skeletal, melancholic electric guitar loop that feels more like an indie rock demo than a hip-hop beat, until the sharp, skittering trap hi-hats provide a modern rhythmic backbone. It is a song that feels perpetually stuck in the blue hour, balancing the raw emotionality of mid-2000s emo with the hazy, drug-addled textures of the SoundCloud rap era. The production is spacious and cold, allowing the distinct vocal personalities of Lil Peep, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, and Døves to occupy their own spectral corners of the mix.
