A Mature Return with "Drop In"
Possible People, comprising the Sydney-based duo Pinz from Pinz & Pelz and Tulett of COOL CDs, make a compelling return with their sophomore EP, "Drop In." Released under the trusted banner of Extra Spicy, this EP marks a noticeable evolution from their debut, "Loving Is Hard." The new release retains the distinctive sound that first brought them acclaim but shifts the focus from club beats to more introspective, soul-stirring tracks. The maturation in their musical expression is palpable, moving away from the dance floor to explore more nuanced emotional landscapes, making it a soundtrack more suited for deep listening than for dancing.
Collaborative Dynamics and Vocal Innovations
"Drop In" features enriching collaborations that highlight the duo's growth and willingness to experiment. Notably, the EP includes contributions from long-time friend and Extra Spicy alumnus, LOW STAKES, and introduces Pinz's vocal talents on tracks like 'I Don't Ask For Much' and 'On The K-Set.' These additions offer a fresh dynamic to their sound, blending seamlessly with the EP’s overarching themes of introspection and emotional complexity. The presence of familiar voices not only enriches the auditory experience but also adds a layer of personal touch that fans are sure to appreciate.
Homage with a Twist
While the EP pays homage to the drum and bass of the 2000s, it does not confine itself to a single genre. Instead, "Drop In" traverses a broader sonic terrain, shifting track-to-track through different moods and styles, illustrating the duo's versatility and deep understanding of bass music. This range is presented as a journey through sound, where each track offers a distinct vibe, contributing to a cohesive yet diverse listening experience. The EP feels like a blade of grass growing through concrete—subtle yet strikingly alive, begging to find soul in the cold and clinical world around.
