Bladee and Ecco2K dropped a surprise on their fans today in the form of their brand new album Crest via YEAR0001. Stream the full project below.
Produced by the pair’s longtime collaborator Whitearmor entirely in a tiny red cabin located in the south of their native Sweden, the nine-track album contains tracks like “The Flag Is Raised,” “5 Star Crest (4 Vattenrum),” “Desire Is a Trap,” and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”
The Stockholm-based hyperpop duo’s collaborative studio set serves as a follow-up to their latest single “Amygdala” as well as Bladee’s 2021 album The Fool. Ecco2K’s most recent albums, E and Trash Island, were both released back in 2019.

From there, the trek will hit major cities including Washington, DC, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, and Vancouver before closing with a two-night stand at The Globe Theater in Los Angeles.
