Decent Rides - Stay High

01. No Popcorn - (5:51)
02. Skin Care Routine - (7:11)
03. Stay High - (7:28)

There was a classically warming, lights-down-low feel to Decent Rides previous EP on Apparel Music, with plenty of live instrumentation paired with dope grooves and swinging, MPC style deep house beats. There's a similarly hazy, musically vibrant feel to this follow-up Quintessentials. For proof, check opener 'No Popcorn', where sampled horns and eyes-closed vocal snippets (both sung and spoken) rising above a squelchy, acid style bassline, swirling chords and fluid house beats. 'Skin Care Routine' is a more classic-sounding chunk of sunrise-ready deep house warmth, while title track 'Stay High' is a more loose-limbed affair full of bubbly bass, woozy synthesizer motifs and skewed, eyes-closed chords.
