about

Not including the secret Patreon-exclusive album "Warm Lights of Revenge Emanate From a Cold Sun, Bathing the Blackened Prism Benders," this is Savan DePaul's fifth solo rap studio album. It will be the last of those for a little while.

Recorded over the course of 2022 in the background while she tinkered with other projects, this album and the Patreon-exclusive record were what DePaul whittled down from nearly 60 songs. Her stated goal was to make the most streamlined yet hard hitting albums dey possibly could as a sendoff before focusing on collaborative records and records under her other aliases.

As a consequence, DePaul pulls no punches lyrically or sonically on iLLadelph Halfdeath Under A Nautical Twilight. "Bozo / Amoeba" careens into abrasive noise rap territory while "Oxytocin Mapquest" sees rapid-fire melodic flows laid over frenetic deconstructed-breakcore rhythms. Asses are whooped on the take-no-prisoners banger 'Dodo", names are taken on "Glitter Galaxy", anything and everything is up for critique. iHUANT occupies a unique position in Savan DePaul's discography.
