Theo Parrish continues to raid his vast back catalogue. This EP features sought-after cuts from two vinyl only EPs (released in 1997 and 2001 respectively) that have previously been unavailable digitally. Opener ‘Smile’ is arguably one of the Detroiter’s most magnificent musical moments of all time: an epic slab of drowsy Motor City deep house built around idiosyncratic drum programming, ultra-deep chords, toasty bass and an effects-laden vocal snippet. ‘Lost Keys’ is a breezier and looser affair marked out by Latin style piano motifs, jazzy house beats and tactile bass, while ‘Dreamer’s Blues’ is a languid, percussion-and-electric piano rich number that tends towards the hazy and jazzy. Finally, ‘Lost Angel’ is an ultra-deep affair whose spacey chords seem to stretch out to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
