Ethereal's auditory tag—a shrill female laugh—sounds like what you hear before you die as Player 2 in a video game. But he always hits "continue": while the rest of his Awful Records crew has been terrorizing green rooms around New York City, the Atlanta rapper/producer spent this past weekend stitching together the final touches on Catalyst, another batch of mindfuck beats that recall the jagged edges of early Odd Future output and monotone raps that finally start to gel when you're fluent in his catalogue. Don't miss "Pink," a stutter-stop twister smoothened by a rich R&B hook, when you stream the whole thing below.
