Yet more great music from Perth, Western Australia, this is a funky, languidly confident EP, shot through with elements of lounge, fun, jazz and hip-hop.
Genre-hopping with ease, GBC display considerable musical skill, both in composition and execution.
The songs blend together almost seamlessly, despite the shifts in mood, and if I have a gripe, it's only that I wish there was more of it!
This is a breeze. Enjoy its cool. Michael Mueller
The latest from the excellent Nyege Nyege Tapes pairs minimalist electronics with the rhythms of Maloya music to gripping effect. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2018
