Dim the lights and submit to their soft, seductive sound
Los Angeles' Alina Baraz and Denmark's Galimatias never break a sweat on their immaculately chilled debut EP, but their languid, soulful downtempo is sure to quicken pulses. Channeling Sade and Lana Del Rey, Baraz coos comeons in a silky whisper that's both sultry and strangely innocent. "I could be your fantasy," she sighs on "Fantasy," and on "Can I," she asks, "Will you let me be your getaway?" Galimatias' slow-motion beats and hazy synths swirl like smoke, and "Maybe," the EP's slowest cut, suggests R&B on the verge of dissolution.
