LA Alt Indie duo Tricks have made their debut with the genre-crumbling EP “The Epic Preview”

Posted on 26 May 2020

Up and coming LA Alt Indie Electronica duo Tricks have made their dreamily entrancing debut with the EP “The Epic Preview”. Given the title of the EP and the resonant magnetism which the release contains, we’re already excited to hear what will follow.

Each of the 7 tracks on the EP offers plenty of affable aural indulgence. Yet, the best introduction to Tricks’ urbanely nuanced production style is “2squares”. With the Mike Patton-levels of sublime experimental ingenuity, you’ll be transfixed to the ever-evolving progressions which flirt with downtempo Hip Hop, Indie and Soul. Each progression and shift in tone is as seamless as the last in this medley of grooving which follows just the right tempo for the track to be as cathartic as it is captivating.

You can check out 2squares along with the rest of Tricks’ debut EP for yourselves by heading over to Spotify now.

Morgan Glasper Perfects Indie Electronic Neo Soul with Their Latest Release “Anything for You”

Posted on 24 March 2019

Any fans of the Zombies, the Hollies, the Kinks and the Beach Boys are going to want to check out up and coming artist Morgan Glasper’s serious serving of soul which takes the form of a 7 track album titled “MGP, Vol. 1”.

Each of the seven tracks offer a short and sweet, stripped back and melodic mix which comes with a healthy serving of transcendental catharsis. The command of the melody is perceptible as soon as each track kicks off which makes their soundscapes all too easy to slip into. But there’s no better introduction to Morgan Glasper’s sound than the first track “Anything for You”. Even though Morgan was able to keep authentic there’s still no disputing that their music deserves a space on contemporary airwaves. While it would be nice to have heard a track which exceeded three minutes included on the release, there’s an incredibly smooth transition between each of the singles which means listening to the release in full is a must!
