“////” deftly weaves a collection of chromatic yet introspective forays into its hazy and atmospheric terrain, which emerged out of recording sessions that took place both in New York and in his hometown Rio de Janeiro, with both cities framing the overall emotional backbone of the EP whilst bleeding through their respective caustic glee and lush melancholia simultaneously into it. The recordings consisted of hand played percussion, modular-driven rhythmic interventions, analogue synths and drum-machine incursions, electric bass guitars and guest vocal appearances.

The opener “AMarelo” kicks off with a washed out and warm pad that transmutes into intricate rhythmic patterns and a melody reminiscent of Actress that ultimately dissolves back into a detuned pad line. The evocative follow-up “Bal-der-dash” is a deeper psyche house bounce that manages to retain its sunrisen haziness all the way. “Classy Psycho Path” assembles Reich-esque wood drumming, tiny pieces of colorful sounds and a repetitive bass line into a playful and sly exercise that quickly fades out as soon as it gives the impression of a cohesive groove being formed. “YiB (Pt. 1)”’s delicate and sorrowful traits seem to narrate an ascending passage from physical to meta-physical realms culminating in warped-out blissfulness, while the penultimate cut, “KiKi” is a percussive-led and well-groomed sun soaked dreamy workout that gives way to the closer “My Heavy Head”’s druggy synth lead lines and a swift slap bass extravaganza that wraps it up.
