"This is a collaborative project between our own Jackhigh and the US visual artist and beatmaker known as Teebs. As a member of the LA-based My Hollow Drum collective, Teebs is part of the much vaunted LA-based beats scene centred around Poo-Bah Records and the Dublab radio station, as well as being part of Brainfeeder, Flying Lotus’s hand-picked selection of artists and producers, with whom he recently toured Japan. He recently created a collection of painted on record sleeves which has been widely exhibited around the world. His track WLTA was recently featured on Mary Anne Hobbs’ Wild Angels collection.
Teebs’ woozy strings & Jackhigh’ mournful beats come together on the Tropics EP, a 7 track mini-epic of distracted soundscapes and washed out melodies. It’s music that’s all about travelling, like a 21st century version of the Exotica records of Les Baxter. Teebs will be creating all the artwork for the release, including a special limited number of screenprinted sleeves. You can hear one of the tracks, Clutch, as part of Flying Lotus’ hugely acclaimed BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix."
