No need anymore, the whole album is out. Before the release, at least one of the big “marroW snippets” on fan accounts was just a clip from knot-here.world, and I only link official releases.

Stream marroW.

Yes. The marroW tour is 45 shows in 2027: the US and Canada from 4 March to 21 April, then Europe from 15 May to 4 June. Tickets went on sale in two steps: a presale on Wednesday 28 October 2026 with the password tiedtocreature, then the general sale from Friday 30 October at 10am local time in every city.

See every date with ticket links, or get tickets on his official site.

Yes, every show has an Early Entry upgrade on brakencevip.com for $100. There’s no ticket in it, so you need a normal ticket as well. You get two songs stripped back before the show, a VIP tote bag, a trading card only VIP gets, a surprise merch item, first go at the merch and first entry into the venue.

The discography has every release.

Three: punk2 (2020), hypochondriac (2022) and marroW (2026), plus the EPs hypnagogia (2018) and bhavana (2019), and fifthenigma (2016), which is only on SoundCloud.

The full discography has everything, singles and features included.

Last time I checked his Spotify top five, before the album, it was ready or noT, crystallized, death rolL, venus fly trap and deepfake. All time, fuckboy has the most plays.

Three of those are from marroW.

On Genius, or in the Spotify and Apple Music apps. I link every released song.

A browser game brakence posted on 24 September 2026, the day before ready or noT. You help a set of strange characters, build an effigy, burn it, and the ending reveals marroW. On 14 October it turned into guesswork, a short story game where your choices land you on bitE or body.

Stuck? Read the full guide.

The first teaser for marroW, from mid September 2026: a black page with a wooden door against red velvet and a button that plays a 25-second audio clip.

The lore board shows how it connects to everything else.

Pretty much. The marroW rollout plays like one: the still-here.world door, the knot-here.world game, jesteR and butcheR talking in the Discord, and the capital letters at the end of some song titles.

The lore board puts every clue together.

Nobody knows for sure. The jester shows up everywhere this era: the still-here.world audio file is named after it, it’s a character in knot-here.world and there’s a jesteR account in the official Discord. jesteR is also track 6 on marroW.

Read the Discord conversation.

Yep, the official brakence Discord, linked from brakence.com. It has over 12,000 members, and it’s where jesteR, butcheR and m showed up in #midnight-garden, and where m dropped the knot-here.world link.

Yes, r/brakence. Leaks aren’t allowed there, and I don’t post them here either.

r/brakence.

Kind of. I made brakdlE, where you guess the brakence song of the day in 8 tries. There are nine more: listeN names the song from a tiny clip, higheR is higher or lower on plays, coveR is a zoomed-in cover, linkS is four hidden groups, trackS is naming every song on a list against the clock, ranK makes tier lists, mirroR tells you which song you are, polL lets you make a poll and setlisT lets you call the setlist for a marroW tour show.

Play the games, or make a tier list.

Yes, I made one. listeN plays a quarter of a second of the day’s brakence song, then half a second, one, two, four and fifteen seconds, and you get six tries to name it. Each day starts somewhere different in the song. The clips are the official Apple Music previews.

Play listeN.

Yes. ranK lets you rank every song or one album at a time, make your own tiers and save it as an image, and you can see how your list compares to everyone else’s.

Make a tier list.

No. This is an unofficial fan archive, not affiliated with brakence, Columbia Records or Sony Music. It’s just me making it. I’m @yestinjarrett on Instagram and Discord. The @BrakenceArchive account on X isn’t mine and has nothing to do with this site. His official site is brakence.com.
