Our friend Tei Shi‘s new Verde EP dropped the other day and it’s quickly proving to be one of our favorite releases this year. It’s both cerebral and visceral, packed full of beautifully textured vibes (closing track “Get It” in particular is delicious headphones candy) and powerfully kinetic riffs (single “Bassically” is pure Beast Mode).
Meanwhile, to celebrate the release, Val is also offering fans a glimpse into her creative process via a new rehearsal tape which you’ll find below. Of particular note, you’ll find a quick and dirty cover of Grimes “Oblivion” at 13:18 and at 32:02 an early snippet of “Bassically.”
