New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica called 1000 Gecs the best album of 2019, and it was rated among the best albums of the year by Crack Magazine, Noisey, Paper, Pitchfork, and Stereogum. 100 Gecs were named an 'Artist You Need to Know' by Rolling Stone in 2019. In November 2019, the duo appeared on the Adult Swim web series FishCenter Live and performed the songs '800db Cloud' and 'Stupid Horse' in front of a green screen backdrop of an aquarium. In September 2019, it was announced that 100 Gecs and Slowthai would support Brockhampton on their Heaven Belongs to You Tour later that year, 100 Gecs also headlined six additional shows of their own in various cities along the tour. According to Will Pritchard of The Independent, the album helped to consolidate the eclectic 2010s ' hyperpop' style by taking the genre 'to its most extreme, and extremely catchy, conclusions: stadium-sized trap beats processed and distorted to near-destruction, overwrought emo vocals and cascades of ravey arpeggios.' Following that collaboration, they continued to work on songs and released their debut album, 1000 Gecs, on May 31, 2019, to positive reviews. 2019–2020: 1000 Gecs and 1000 Gecs and the Tree of Clues ĭespite plans to record more music, they were unable to find enough time until they performed a 'breakout' DJ set together for the 2019 Minecraft Fire Festival.

In the winter of 2015, Les and Brady first produced music together, recording in Chicago and eventually self-releasing their first EP, 100 Gecs, on July 12, 2016.
