Diving into the world of Alternative Pop with an unpredictable twist, CASH U has emerged from Linz, Austria, to challenge the norms with their latest album, “Best Shit.” Drawing inspiration from the playful and whimsical tunes of the Neverhood video game, they present a quirky and engaging soundscape that stands out in the European culture of music. Their unique approach combines Electronic Pop with an essence of Hip-hop, marked by ingenious beats and male vocals that bend from childish to brutal through innovative formant play.

The gibberish language of the lead track is a testament to their creative liberty, amalgamating sundry syllables into rhythmic harmony.
