"All vinyl Heaven is in You broadcast made after a huge recent move! Pulled records from XqST, Nettle, SUDS and Seefeel amongst a few others who were also apt at "the warp". Aside from being some weird, good sounds the records def gathered some dust from the transition of places. I like to think it's a little added texture and context :)"

Now an overarching style of contemporary pop, Lil Peep took the tell-all emotionally naked lyricism of emo and alternative rock and shot it through a rap lens. Listening to his music – much of which lamented the pain of simply being alive, and documented his chasing of the highs to escape it – it might have seemed almost inevitable that he would leave us at a young age, which he ultimately did, aged only 21. Also inevitable was his impact - a generation of young fans who internalise his influence as passionately as generations before them did with Kurt Cobain, or any other luminaries of pop counterculture who passed before their time.
