Where once they were on the run, now they’re cops. The last Brockhampton video (for “Gummy,” which was released last week) saw your new favourite boyband hanging out with an alpaca in the aftermath of a bank robbery; this week, in the new clip for “Swamp,” some of them are dressed as the law-enforcement, and others just have straight-up masking tape on their faces. What did you expect? It’s a Brockhampton video.
“Swamp” itself is yet another encapsulation of why Brockhampton sound like the future: a bunch of fresh, different verses from which it’s difficult to choose the best, a poppy hook (I think almost immediately of N*SYNC and honestly I’m not mad at the comparison), and a mellow beat that demonstrates the group can take on pretty much any mood and make their sound suit it. It’s another track from their upcoming third mixtape Saturation II which is reportedly on its way later in August, and which, if what we’ve heard is anything to go by, will easily cement them as some of the biggest, weirdest, and most interesting new stars made by 2017. See the “Swamp” video above and trip balls, pretty much.
