8tm - Bankrupt

Review by Auto brushup

Bankrupt by 8tm: A Downtempo Daydream You Didn’t Know You Needed Let’s get one thing straight—Bankrupt isn’t your typical album. Released in 2016 by French producer 8tm under Bromance Records, this gem blends electronic vibes with hip-hop swagger like it’s no big deal. The genres? Electronic and Hip Hop. The styles? Downtempo, Chillwave, House—you name it. It’s the kind of record that feels like a lazy Sunday afternoon wrapped up in neon lights and late-night musings. First off, can we talk about the artwork for a sec? Julien Rosa and Kristofferson San Pablo nailed it. It’s got this retro-futuristic vibe that screams “I’m mysterious but also kinda vibey.” And shoutout to Sydnée Vion for mastering—it’s crisp without being overdone, letting the tracks breathe just enough. Now onto the music. I’ll cut to the chase because life’s too short for filler words. Two tracks stood out to me like neon signs on a foggy night: Chapter 11 and After Hours. Chapter 11 kicks things off with a moody bassline that feels like walking through an empty city at 3 AM. There’s something haunting yet comforting about it—it doesn’t demand your attention; it earns it. The beat shifts ever so slightly, keeping you hooked without even realizing it. By the time the synths kick in, you’re already lost in its world. It’s not trying too hard, which makes it hit harder than expected. Then there’s After Hours. This track is pure chillwave gold. Imagine sipping coffee while staring out of a rain-speckled window—that’s what this feels like. The rhythm has this hypnotic pull, almost as if it knows exactly how to lull you into submission. Jacques Jaguar co-arranged this one, and you can tell he brought his A-game. Every layer feels intentional, like every sound was placed where it needed to be. Honestly, I couldn’t stop replaying it—it’s the musical equivalent of finding five bucks in your jeans pocket. The other tracks (Shreveport, Gold Rush) are solid too, don’t get me wrong. But those two stuck with me like gum on a shoe. Maybe it’s their laid-back confidence or the way they sneak up on you when you least expect it. Either way, they’re unforgettable. Here’s the kicker though—this album came out in 2016, and yet it still sounds fresh today. Like, how does that happen? Most albums from six years ago feel dated now, but Bankrupt defies time like it borrowed a DeLorean and decided to stay put. So yeah, give it a spin if you haven’t already. Whether you're into downtempo beats or just need some background noise that won’t bore you to tears, this one delivers. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself zoning out during work meetings because you were too busy vibing to Chapter 11. Trust me, it happens. And hey, maybe bankruptcy ain’t so bad after all—if it sounds this good.
