Bleep

Remastered, re-released and expanded after its hugely popular initial run in 2014, Alfa Mist and Emmavie’s trippy soul-jazz LP Epoch returns to vinyl. Featuring a mightily sensuous combination of Emmavie’s soulful vocal delivery, slithering around Erykah Badu’s register, and Alfa Mist’s beautifully horizontal melding of jazz and hip-hop production, Epoch is one of those LPs that equally invites a chilled afternoon and a low-key slow jam get-together. Dreams of escape pour out of the staggered rhythm of ‘Fly Away’, while newly-added bonus track ‘Energy’ applies luscious closure to a vital entry in modern R&B history.
