Following releases from Lurka and Keplrr, GRACE has something more introspective in store. The label's fourth outing is a tasty collaboration between Bristol's georg-i and Lisbon-based lyricist Older Brother. Their 'Warm Skin' EP is a journey through slick, hi-tek bass and trip-hop injected with gritty vocal poetry.
Both artists are hitting their stride. Since 2021, georg-i has gone from strength to strength, his razor-sharp slappers appearing on YCO, FELT, and more recently, as the inaugural release on CCL's Subglow. Meanwhile, Older Brother's otherworldly vocals have featured on Timedance, Metrist's SOSOSO, and now a full release with the iconic imprint Numbers.
On this EP, a soundworld emerges that recalls the dark intimacy of Massive Attack's Mezzanine and the beat science of Samurai Music. These two artists' combined talent makes for beautiful, moody listening - a third space between wonder and cynicism.
