The Florida outfit Copeland have a way of ingratiating within listeners a sense of longing and peace. Even if beyond your earbuds the world is falling apart you’ll find sufficient solace in their down tempo arias. And if music is indeed a refuge then the Ixora Twin release is a purring, soft-edged and low-lit ambulance come to ferry our damaged remains to a place of other worldly bliss.

For more, gather your legion of emotions and lay them at the forgiving feet of every song on this album. For Copeland fans, and anyone else in need of a beautiful bomb shelter, check out Copeland’s amazing Ixora Twin release for it just might change your world.

To our aid there exists a young producer from the sunshine state enabling one and all to hop upon his slow motion wagon of mellow beats, taffy candy stretched out staccatos and free fall essences. His mother named him Marcel Everett, yet I wonder if she ever sensed his potential for creating the chillest music this side of Antarctica? Listen to the track “About U,” and slip down into euphoria. In closing, seek out your favorite gardener and let the herb fest continue. Peace. Continue reading “xxyyxx // about u”
