Vanisher, Horizon Scraper is the highly anticipated follow up to Quadeca's 2024 critically acclaimed mixtape Scrapyard, which was given a coveted score of 9/10 from Anthony Fantano / The Needle Drop and currently sits as the #28 highest rated mixtape of all time on rateyourmusic.com.

Vanisher, Horizon Scraper is a concept album – a modern apocalyptic folklore about a man who sails into the ocean alone in the pursuit of freedom and cosmic understanding, subconsciously motivated by his own self-destruction. With a run time of nearly 70 minutes, the album takes listeners on a transformative sonic journey through countless unique blends of genres from world music, ambient, hip hop, bossa nova, folk, rock, and other experimental stylings.
