Absurdist’s Electric Chair

Glitch Gum on his new album ‘SPRINKLES!’ and the future of hyperpop

Absurdist’s Electric Chair sits down with Nashville-based artist Glitch Gum, who first rose to prominence in the hyperpop scene after appearing on CMTEN’s viral track “NEVER MET!” and remixing Phoebe Bridgers’s track “Kyoto.” That remix became so iconic that Phoebe hopped on the track herself to deliver original vocals tailored to the remix, which cemented Glitch Gum’s status not only in hyperpop, but also in the wider internet music scene.
