Review

Vanisher, Horizon Scraper marks a major leap for Quadeca, moving him firmly into the realm of art-pop and conceptual storytelling. Released in 2025, the album is an ambitious narrative of a lone sailor’s journey across a vast, symbolic ocean, exploring themes of self-doubt, existential dread, and the search for transcendence. Musically, Quadeca blends art-pop, folktronica, ambient, and neo-psychedelia, layering rhythmic experiments, lush atmospheres, and unconventional samples to create a soundscape as intricate as its story.

Collaborations with artists like Danny Brown, who voices the mythical serpent Bakunawa, and Oleka add texture and theatricality to the record, while tracks like “No Questions Asked” and “That’s Why” showcase his ability to fuse introspection with inventive musicality. The album doesn’t shy away from complexity; at times it can feel dense or overwhelming, but that intensity reinforces its narrative of confronting inner turmoil and the unknown.

Overall, Vanisher, Horizon Scraper is a bold statement of growth for Quadeca. It’s challenging, layered, and deeply imaginative — the kind of album that rewards patience and repeated listens. While not immediately accessible, it cements him as an artist unafraid to push boundaries in both sound and story. - Evan
