Background

edit

On Twitter, Getter provided an explanation of meanings for each song in the album beginning from August 11 to 21, 2018.[5] The next day, he revealed the track listing of the album via Twitter, sharing an artwork of handwritten song titles.[5] It was initially planned for a release in July but due to unapproved samples,[6] the album's release had undergone multiple postponements and was eventually announced for September.[7] Getter tweeted that the album's release is "99% confirmed in September. just finishing some contracts."[6] Getter's releasing with Mau5trap became fruitful after one of his future bass songs was included on the label's Mau5ville: Level 1 EP.[8]

Composition

edit

Visceral incorporates elements of hip hop, electronic, bass and rock,[2][9][unreliable source?] with songs varying in the styles from future bass to funk and from rap to ambient.[10][unreliable source?] The album is described as "filled with dark, moving material" and it "doesn't shy away from life's roughest truths."[2][11] The second half of the album is noted for getting "progressively lighter and more upbeat after the breakdown in Colorblind."[12][unreliable source?] Among the singles were "All Is Lost", "Made for You" and "Solo".[13][unreliable source?] The album is stylistically described as "ranging on the emotional spectrum from heartbreak and rejection to unhealthy relationships to the mental purgatory faced by being stuck in your own head"[14][unreliable source?] and a "personal deep dive into Getter's own life and tells a story of raw human emotions such as struggle, rejection, heartbreak and healing."[15][unreliable source?][16][unreliable source?]
