‘self*care’ is the keenly awaited debut EP by Sega Bodega, a none-more-hyped producer who’s already racked up credits for Quay Dash and Shygirl, and soundtracked the new Nike Jumpman advert and Rihanna’s Fenty X Puma runway show
Cyberpunk in a similar mode to Amnesia Scanner or SOPHIE, on ‘self*care’ Sega Bodega tweaks that definition to purpose across six tracks of morphing R&B and kinetic club music laced with gremlin-like vocaloids.
The result is a razor-sharp cross section of hypermodernity, stretching from the elusive, phthalocyanine blues of ‘Cowgirl’ to the bombed-out Baile of ‘hopeless!!!’ and the flesh-grinding ‘daddy’, before dancing on your nerve ends with the piquant trap pointillism and vaulted chorale of ‘maryland’, and the shiny beast of ‘gag reflex’.
