Get Awat From Me EP

Full disclosure here, these are post-whatever electronica, self-dubbed genre Sludge Hop (which he states is a better name for wonky), are from the hands of my best friends from home, Max Ross. When you grow up in the suburbs and you have to get everywhere by car, you get fucking bored. This is what we do when there's nothing to do but make fun of how hard hipsters are trying and how wack-ass hip-hop needs to get just get away from us. The influences range from J Dilla to Flying Lotus to Hudson Mohawke to Madlib to Stravinsky to MF Doom (or DOOM). So so so so so smooth. The post-wonky sub-basslines carry these tracks along with the intricately mulled over beats that makes you want to take a long drive to no where. The samples are used very sparingly, just like little accent notes on the page. Very tasteful. It also features a local New Jersey band called Intense Men, which contains the older brother of Max. Oh, and a fucking crazy reverand. Not only all of that, the mothafuckah is giving it away fo' freeeeee. This album is for pushing away all the hate and bullshit that we all have to experience every day and replacing it EP that will make you forget.
Favorite tracks: 91.1!, The Center, and The Spirit of Truth.
