EP

Five tracks of velvet-textured downtempo and Rhodes-heavy jazz. A warm, analog exhale captured at the dawn of the chillout era.

Listening to this EP is like sinking into a heavy velvet armchair while the world outside slows to a crawl. It represents the pinnacle of the turn-of-the-century chillout movement, where the grit of 90s trip-hop was smoothed over with sophisticated jazz arrangements and high-fidelity production. The sound is anchored by the Fender Rhodes piano, which provides a shimmering, liquid foundation for every track. It feels expensive yet intimate, like a private performance in a dimly lit studio where the air is thick with the smell of old tape machines and expensive coffee.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the Rhodes piano chords hang in the air during the intro of Out of Town, feeling almost weightless.
The subtle entry of the crisp, jazzy drum loop on One Arm Break that anchors the ethereal synths.
The haunting, layered vocal harmonies on Likufanele that create a sense of communal warmth.
