Vacation

Shlohmo

Submerged R&B vocal chops and pitch-warped tape hiss. A definitive document of the 2012 lo-fi beat scene that feels like a lonely, rainy night in a concrete city.

It sounds like a heartbreak recorded on a cassette tape that's been left in the rain.

A heavy, waterlogged sadness that feels both intimate and distant.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the vocal loop in 'The Way U Do' feels like it's fighting to stay above the surface of a thick, muddy bassline.
The sudden clarity of the guitar plucks in 'Rained the Whole Time' before they are swallowed by a wash of static.
Nicolas Jaar's remix stripping the track down to a skeletal, clicking rhythm that emphasizes the hollow space between notes.
