Estonian-American producer umru has gone from SoundCloud golden boy to esteemed beat-maker in just a couple of short years. His heavy-hitting beats and unique approach to sound design has garnered the attention of respected producers such as josh pan, y2k and A. G. Cook, before eventually earning production credits on pop mogul Charli XCX’s Pop 2 mixtape. This quick rise to dominance has culminated into umru’s first full body of work, an eclectic six-track EP titled search result, out now on PC Music.
In signature umru fashion, the young producer combines his experimental beats with catchy vocals to sway between underground and mainstream vibes with ease. Along with the previously-released ‘sticky’ and ‘popular’, search result is comprised of four more boundary-pushing songs. Although every track is unique, they all inherently capture umru’s essence as a producer, with metallic synths and chaotic sounds somehow sounding beautifully harmonious. With the exception of the intro, ‘recurse’, and the outro, ‘linkrot’, umru makes his counterparts’ vocals shine without undermining his own pristine production.
With this monumental project, we wouldn’t be surprised to see umru join the ranks of pop music’s most forward-thinking producers in the near future. Don’t miss search results below.
