Down to Earth

Jem

Breathy vocals meet sophisticated trip-hop loops and orchestral flourishes. A polished, optimistic collection of mid-tempo grooves for quiet, rainy afternoons.

It's like if trip-hop went to the beach and came back feeling really optimistic.

A sophisticated blend of quiet confidence and gentle, rhythmic optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The cinematic swell of the strings on It's Amazing that creates a sense of soaring optimism.
The unexpected shift into the glitchy, high-energy pulse of Aciiid! that breaks the album's mellow flow.
The way the beat drops into a deep, dub-influenced groove on the title track Down to Earth.
