Drop Therapy's second release of 2025, "This Magician Is A Cornered Animal" takes a step back from the harder, more aggressive styling's of March's "Bitch," in favor of a much more melodic, building, video-game-soundtrack inspired soundscape. With songs ranging from "Nula's" fifty-four second run-time to "The Star (Santa Clara)'s" seventeen minutes and forty-three seconds, the record proves a wide range of elaborations and examinations of the record's themes of change, disdain, and occasional despair, juxtaposed against the often light, almost dreamy instrumentation of the tracks. "This Magician Is A Cornered Animal" is Drop Therapy's most mature release to date, and will far from leave listener's that are used to the density of DT's music wanting.

Drop Therapy • Bitch
Following 2024's full length "Winter in the Mountains; Summer in the Valley," Drop Therapy's new EP "Bitch" follows up on everything the artist has promised and more. Abrasive and unforgiving, euphonic and moving, DT's signature bass style shines through each track, layered in walls of sound that juxtapose against the momentary licks of electronic melody. Chock full of self-deprecation and reflection, "Bitch" creates a masterful tone of vulnerability and aggression across its groove-like noise.
king rat & hetareee • An Exercise in Compatibility
Ranging from seven-minute ballads comprised of classic guitar solos, hooks that burrow into your head, and lyrics that bite just as much as they sooth, to three-minute screamo tracks chock-full of chugs, breakdowns, and cascading cries from hell, the new split from king rat & hetareee's split will keep listeners on their toes as they traverse the EP's eclectic songs. Exploring themes of self-worth, love, god, and of course, the moon, this split truly is an exercise in compatibility.
Winter in the Mountains; Summer in the Valley, is Drop Therapy's most recent soundscape of brutal, industrial, hardcore electronica.Featuring 8 tracks with an 8-minute average run-time, this record is unforgiving in it's persistence, fueling an atmosphere of video-game-like battle music that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat, as they follow the ups and downs of the record. Covering issues like mental-illness, disability, heteronormativity, abuse, hopelessness, capitalism, and conformity, the tense but, at times, strangely inspiring world of Winter; Summer, illustrate the ups and downs of navigating life, its Mountains and Valleys of emotion.
