SCRAP

SCRAP

cleopatrick’s 2025 release FAKE MOON saw the Canadian duo shift away from radio-ready alt-rock bangers to ’90s-style lo-fi slackitude. And that off-the-cuff spirit carries over to the aptly named SCRAP, a mixtape-style memento marking the band’s first decade together. The album unearths a handful of fuzz-covered rarities—like the punchy “GUTS”—that can easily hold their own in the band’s established canon of muscular yet melodic mosh-pit anthems, while the drum-machined acoustic serenade “STILL” ventures deeper into FAKE MOON’s bedroom-pop terrain. But SCRAP stitches these stand-alone songs into a crazy quilt of hip-hop hype-man intros, a cappella R&B interludes, found-sound dialogue snippets, and jazz-piano sketches, further cementing cleopatrick’s status as a Soundgarden for the post-SoundCloud era.
