brakence is on a new ssajjess song
Two days after marroW, ssajjess put out Stratachrome with brakence on it. It’s three minutes, and it’s his first feature since SLEEPWALKER last year.
-

marroW is out
It’s out. All 18 songs, a bit over an hour, his first album since hypochondriac. Twelve of them are brand new: madeleine, wishing well, guessworK, jesteR, tougH, sinkflY, Boss Fight, traitoR, heart, Helene’s Solo, do what you can and With Or Without it. Every one of them has a page now, and they’re in all the games too.
-

The whole marroW tracklist is out
Right on top of bitE and body, the whole marroW tracklist dropped, handwritten in gold between two red curtains. All 18 titles, and Apple Music has them too now.
A lot of it points straight back at the lore. Track 1 is madeleine, and Madeleine is m from #midnight-garden. guessworK is track 5, the same name as the story on knot-here.world right now. jesteR is track 6. wishing well and heart are both places from the knot-here.world map. The rest is new: tougH, sinkflY, Boss Fight, traitoR, Helene’s Solo, do what you can and With Or Without it, which closes the album at 5:07. Eight titles end on a capital, same as marroW itself.
-

bitE and body are out
They’re out. body (track 9) and bitE (track 11) dropped together as one single, a week before marroW. If you played guesswork on knot-here.world you already heard a bit of both. They’re in all the games now too, so good luck with those. The whole album is next Friday.
-
knot-here.world turned into guesswork
The site changed again. The map game is gone for now, and it just asks “ready for guesswork?”. Hit enter, turn your sound on and a voice tells you a story: you haven’t eaten in days, you follow the sun or go scavenging, and you end up at a hut with a stranger and a rabbit. Then you keep picking what to do, and it always ends the same way: “Your time is up.” There are 13 ways to go, from a rotten rabbit to chopping your own leg.
The best part is what plays after. Your last pick flips a coin. Do something nasty, like complaining, poisoning the rabbit or going for the axe, and you get bitE. Go along with it, like thanking them or letting death take you, and you get body. Both songs are out Friday. Every now and then a line comes out in a cursed voice too, so play it a few times.

jesteR has a TikTok now
Right after Problem Child dropped, jesteR @everyone’d the Discord: “i just made this account with a friend of mine… am i destined for fame?” The account is called Phantom Junk, and the first video is a fake tabloid story. brakence and Madeleine (that’s m from #midnight-garden, another TikTok already confirmed it) get caught at Nobu Malibu over an $18 trillion bet, then it spirals into dregs, homemade dregs from leftover sashimi, ZYN pouches and crystals, and ends at a fair where she pulls him the Five of Pentacles, the hardship card. Tagged #marrow. No clue what it means yet, which is half the fun.

Problem Child is out
It’s out. Problem Child is track 3 on marroW, the one he teased on Wednesday with the cabinet full of necklaces. The song page has the length, the BPM and everything that led up to it. bitE and body are next on 16 October, then the full album on 23 October.
-

knot-here.world got a new scene
The game got updated. After you give the Shadow its water, you can now call it back, and it starts talking about a drawer, the diamonds and its body moving without it. The video that plays is a wooden cabinet with a necklace on it, which looks a lot like the one from the Problem Child clip earlier today. Already finished the game? Go back to the desert before you burn the effigy and it still works. Everything is in my guide.
-

A first listen of Problem Child
brakence posted a short clip of Problem Child on his Instagram story and on X. The video is a little wooden cabinet with necklaces hanging off it, sitting in the sand between driftwood. If you played knot-here.world, a necklace might ring a bell. The song is out Friday 9 October, and it’s track 3 on marroW.
-

crystallized and death rolL are out
Two new songs at once, out together as crystallized & death rolL. death rolL is track 2 on marroW and crystallized is track 13. Both are streaming now.
-

Five more songs before marroW
brakence dropped the whole rollout: crystallized and death rolL on 2 October, Problem Child on 9 October, and bitE and body on 16 October. That’s every title revealed so far, and then the full album on 23 October.
-

marroW is out 23 October
You can pre-order it now. 18 tracks, and the cover is the artwork from the end of knot-here.world. Six titles were up on the listing, including death rolL, bitE and ready or noT at track 8.

brakence posts knot-here.world
A full browser game that ends with the reveal of the new album, marroW. Discord got there first: m dropped the link the night before, at the end of a strange conversation with jesteR and butcheR.

still-here.world goes live
A black screen, a wooden door open against red velvet and 25 seconds of audio in a file called “jester-trailer-new”. First sign of new solo music in almost four years.
