Although we are slightly late to the punch on this EP we believe it is never too late to share music that is truly great. The following EP comes to you from Nashville Tennessee’s fantastic production trio BASECAMP. Taking you on a journey through what is a seamless infusion of downtempo R&B sounds, with hip-hop and electronic influence. Live instrumentals also aid in conveying their unique sound, and add a deeper layer to the music.
The EP automatically begins by entrancing you with the mystic sounds of the song ‘Emmanuel’ and showcases the trio’s amazing writing and production ability of capturing emotion through sound. The song seems to give off that feeling of maintaining calm while your heart continues to race until that final moment when all emotions are released and the song breaks.
Continuing off the final beat of “Emmanuel” BASECAMP continues their story with ‘2 Thingz’, a song of realization and moving on. “I’d realized we’d broken everything we swore/the pain you inflict seems to have no affect/the blood on your hands fills you with no regret.”
Flowing in next is ‘Rydia’, my personal favourite. When the song finally kicks in with its classic R&B vocals over the glitchy up-beat undertones you can’t help but nod your head. Side note: Playing this is the song will aid you in your attempts to seduce a lover (one night or long term).
BASECAMP wraps it all up with ‘Smoke Filled Lungs’ finally letting you go and allowing your emotions to fall back into a neutral feeling of contempt. Overall this is just one of those EPs that is so good you feel obligated to purchase it online in support of the artists and their aspirations but let us know your thoughts.
