EP Review Drop The Needle

Wow. Krispy & The Pooch have quite the EP here. I want to first mention its sonic qualities because that is what caught my attention right away. Through my speakers, the sound was clear and wide with the sound coming from all sorts of places. With a little bit of stereo imaging magic going on, it gave some fascinating effects here and there which were not overwhelming, instead, just perfect.

With that out of the way, this EP is a showcase of some funky inspired tracks, well, at first that is what you may think. When Drop The Needle starts, things have slowed down a bit. The horns have subsided which were present from Groovy Buzzy and now we have more of a hip hop vibe that works so well here. Record scratches here and there, a bit of rap thrown in from Zoe Angelina all while you here little sounds of glasses clicking together gives which ties up the images of seeing someone from across the room. Matt Paul joins in on this track to help develop this story. An incredibly smooth track which also has an instrumental version for you as the final track.

Switching things up is the track The Gutter which is driven by a gnarly synth bass sound paired with a cool beat that sounds different from the other two tracks. The smooth rap vocal on this track is delivered by J. Lamotta which has a cool vibe to it. A great pairing here.

Overall, a solid effort that I would want to hear more of. It has a great way of combining elements of hip-hop with funk. I look forward to hearing more of what Krispy & The Pooch has to offer.
