DETROIT—Experimental rap artist JPEGMAFIA announced a new album and accompanying tour Tuesday. His sixth solo LP, titled ‘Vampire Hunting,’ is set to drop May 21. The album features the single “Babygirl.” JPEGMAFIA promised fans a unique sonic experience. He cited influences from industrial noise and whale songs. The experimental rap artist said the album was a departure from his previous work. He felt his earlier records lacked sufficient industrial noise. This new experimental rap project aims to fix that. Fans can expect a sonic landscape unlike any other.
‘A Symphony of Screams’
JPEGMAFIA described the album’s sound. “It’s like a symphony of screams,” he stated. “But like, really pretty screams.” He also claimed to have sampled the sound of his own existential dread. This new experimental rap record will push boundaries. He hopes to alienate at least 50 percent of his current fanbase. He sees this as a sign of true artistic growth.

Tour Dates Announced
The tour kicks off next month. It will feature a minimalist stage setup. JPEGMAFIA plans to perform entirely in a hazmat suit. He cited concerns about ‘residual sonic pollution.’ His manager, Brenda Gloop, shared her excitement. “This is it. This is the sound of the future,” Gloop said. “Or possibly the sound of a dying fax machine.” The tour will visit 15 cities. Ticket pre-sales begin Friday. Fans are encouraged to wear earplugs. Or don’t. It’s his artistic vision.
At press time, JPEGMAFIA had reportedly replaced all his microphones. They were replaced with repurposed garden gnomes. He felt they had better ‘acoustic resonance.’
