  • A tranquil brain massage of dubby ambient and swirling downtempo.

  • The debut album from South London duo ddwy (producers Inner Totality and nangi) wades into the world of lo-fi dance music. Full of soft tones and hazy textures, Sprig Songs unfolds like a sweet-tempered lullaby that loosens the mind. Opener "Naini's Call" embodies the duo's dusty and dreamy sound palette, where nangi's gauzy chants cocoon listeners in a loving embrace. Layered synths and distant nature noises add to the spa-like atmosphere, while intuitive drums and proggy synth waves keep things at a lumbering pace. Clearly inspired by the headiness of vintage trip-hop and krautrock, ddwy come up with a minimalist but enveloping psychedelia.
