A2 - Earth Boys - Sad Boys - Low Recordings
Description
Low Recordings presents its latest EP, a 12” with two definitive sides recorded by underground fog dwellers, Earth Boys. Michael Sherburn and Julian Duron’s 15th release is a quintessential eBoys listening experience, where headphones, car stereos and club systems are created equal. ’Cold World E.P.’ gets right to the point with moody locked synth grooves and warm tape noise between two uncomplicated, almost stark melodies, giving any true fan a familiar feeling. Drums take a back seat, heavy leads swell and vocal samples leap right out of the discount bin—as they always have—Earth Boys maintain a conscious balance between deep feeling, focused production and fun. Title track ‘Cold World’ is a swirling, ghostly nose dive, with punchy bass hits and an odd looping arrangement designed to get listeners in the zone. A2 ‘Sad Boys’ is a casual, nonchalant, head bobbing drum loop that weaves though Earth Boys’ typical holy trinity of chiller sounds—soft leads, wind instruments and deep bass. Side B kicks in the doors of the club starting off with ‘In The House’, a subtle yet massive 909 assault, with hard hats, hazy synths and a vintage rolling bass line. ‘Feel So Good’ is another dip into the rich lineage of Earth Boys’ more candy coated tracks such as LSD, I Just Love It, and Be Happy With Who You Are—a proper dance floor number. Let's also not forget the smooth remix that detroit legend, Rick Wade, throws down. Overall the EP feels like a brief survey of the New York producers’ musical repertoire, another day, another eBoys record, but as always, freshly rolled joints just hit a little different.
