Tracks description.
“Picnic” opens the EP with a short atmospheric intro, before the thumping kick drum starts to lead the groove. Atmospheric vocals and sweeping synths are propelled by the fast-paced rhythms of intense percussion.
Next up, “Free Dinner” has a gritty bassline and industrial bursts that are accompanied by rattling hi-hats, while the boom of the kick drives the track. The diva-ish vocal sample that defines the track also adds a quirky vibe to the intensity of the groove.
Track three, “Drop” is a monstrous cut built around a lurching bassline, which creates tension and intensity that’s ready to pounce at any moment. It’s an unrelenting cut that unfolds with thundering percussion and looming suspense.
