The Beta Band

A foundational EP where dusty hip-hop loops meet pastoral acoustic guitars. Shuffling, eccentric, and perfectly suited for a hazy afternoon indoors.

It's like a hip-hop record made by people who only own acoustic guitars and old folk LPs.

A hazy, hypnotic blend of pastoral calm and rhythmic curiosity.

Late Night+1.5σ

Late Night saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic acoustic guitar loop on Dry the Rain that slowly builds into a triumphant brass-inflected groove.
The way the percussion on Dogs Got a Bone sounds like it was recorded in a distant, cavernous hallway.
The transition into the hazy, repetitive vocal chant that anchors the second half of the opening track.
