Sam Gendel – ‘Advanced White Trash’ album review: An unfortunate product of being too online

Sam Gendel’s album *Advanced White Trash* turns his varied musical interests into a deliberately chaotic mix of glitchy electronics, hip hop and internet culture. The review says the experiment is compelling in places, but its constant shifts can feel exhausting and resemble an unfiltered stream of online content.

Gendel sings and raps over beats for the first time on an album, using heavy autotune and altered vocal harmonies. The production ranges from 8-bit cloud rap to more abstract sounds, with occasional baroque passages; the review finds his musicianship and inventive production are its strengths. The self-released album is due on 6 November 2026.
