Hyperpop-punk upstart, rouri404 has released his debut EP, Chlorine today via Red Bull Records. Bridging nostalgic 2000s emo with futuristic hyperpop melodies, rouri404 has perfected a genreless blend that defies the ordinary on the EP, which features new single, “numb”, “motion sick” and fan favorite, “fisheye”. rouri404 takes influences from DIY rap stylings and infused his own brand of pop-punk to produce a gritty yet meticulously crafted offering. Listen to it now below.
Of the EP, rouri404 shares, “I think having fun is the most important part of creating music and ‘chlorine’ reminded me of that over the past year. Going into this EP I wanted to focus heavily on the energy of the tracks and make sure they have huge high moments that seamlessly come back down to a super personal almost nostalgic melancholic feeling. We took a lot of inspiration from early 2000s pop punk & emo and really just my overall childhood, trying to capture that raw energy and emotion of being a kid who doesn’t know what to do in life.”
