They Hate Change, the Tampa Bay production/rap duo have released their Jagjaguwar debut Finally, New.
Truly a post-genre musical landscape Finally, New builds deep connections that transcend outdated distinctions between them, spilling over with the joy of exploration and possibility. A sound made possible by their knack for being sonic omnivores, obsessive deep-divers and lovers of rare and radical sounds. Starting as kids trawling the internet for tracks, they’ve been collecting music from around the world and across the decades, amassing a shared sonic knowledge so deep that “encyclopedic” barely begins to cover it—not just the East Coast hip-hop that Dre grew up on, or the hyperlocal bass-music variants like jook (the Gulf Coast’s twerkably raunchy answer to house) and crank (think “Miami bass meets NOLA bounce”) that Vonne grew up on, but also drum ‘n’ bass, Chicago footwork, post-punk, prog, grime, krautrock, emo, and basically any genre on the map.

“They Hate Change will always keep you on your toes.”– PIGEONS & PLANES
“They Hate Change aren’t gonna be Bedroom Rap All-Stars for long… they’re about to be too damn big to be recording in a small bedroom. It’s inevitable.” – PASSION OF THE WEISS
