Following the natural calm of an ambient soundscape and subtle trap beat, rapper Deago utilises an emotive, quietly confident vocal style to weave a web of imagery and storyline around listeners.

Introducing Myles James in a memorable way, Drugs feels quickly relevant to the current scene, but also showcases a faultless vocal ability – as well as a clearly poetic way with exploring the topic of love and infatuation.
Wholly immersive, engaging and interesting, as well as musically satisfying in the way that only the most finely-produced escapism tends to be.
“I don’t know, every musician out there is just working hard because they love music so much that it just doesn’t matter how much work it is to get your stuff out there.”
Featuring a pop-punk-style guitar riff and organic drum lead, T2D2 delivers an expressive vocal that meanders in style and brings in both melody and rap for a true fusion of genres.
The whole thing is incredibly unique, seemingly raw at first and minimalist before exploding into its final engagement of elements.
“Every one of us is passionate about science fiction, we also love soundtracks and among the still unreleased songs there is a small orchestral suite of cinematic inspiration”
The whole thing has a clearly inspiring core, and given the addictive yet modern musicality, the balance between intensity and summertime lightness works perfectly well.
An inspiring new single, with a timeless air of yesteryear about it that’s comforting in its minimalism and production.
“One thing I am very in tune with is fear. What frightens me either on an earthly physical scale or psychological. I think it’s important to know that kind of shit.”
Indie pop with mainstream strengths, quirky and catchy, loaded with good vibes – a worthy contender this summer season.
Fantastic, unpredictable in hindsight and a pleasure to listen to thanks to this creative freedom and the rising, reflective emotion and heart of the poetry and performance.
