Devin James Fry throws a curveball with "Half Ball Pit Half Bloodbath" [Premiere]

Devin James Fry arrives with a new music video for “Half Ball Pit Half Bloodbath.” This experience has been served in ten different editions, and he isn’t seeking permission to shake things up. The project begins with a brooding, minimalist version Fry calls “gloom-bap.”

This no-frills opener wastes no time with pleasantries. Instead, it establishes an eerie, raw, and oddly hypnotic mood, engaging you in Fry’s strange world with surgical precision. Think shadows, cracked sidewalks, and poetry whispered into a broken mic. From there, the song shifts and shifts, each version taking on new shades of texture and emotional timbre, culminating in what Fry describes as a “lavish” performance that feels almost cinematic in scale, the song finally coming into its full, frantic blossom.

What makes “Half Ball Pit Half Bloodbath” compelling is Fry’s skill in posing as the agitator in each version. He doesn’t gloss over the rough spots or tie things off with a bow. Instead, he encourages listeners to sit in the tension and notice how a song can change shape without losing its heart. This is musical storytelling through different prisms, and it’s a rare trick to execute without sounding gimmicky. But Fry makes it seem organic, even inevitable.

The music video is also visual, leaning into the dissonance. It’s disorienting in all the right ways, playful but ominous, fragmented but whole. It’s like being trapped in a fever dream at an art school slumber party. One minute you’re splashing about in a kiddie pool of memories, the next you’re plummeting into emotional wreckage.
