Ecid – Pheromone Heavy

Double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve including digital download. 2015 release from the Minneapolis rapper/producer. Ecid has been operating on the fringes of rap music for close to a decade, with no co-signer or angel investor, just a passion for contributing to the ever changing hip-hop landscape. His first songs were cut using a dual tape deck and a stack of gangster rap instrumentals. Now he single-handedly orchestrates every detail of his songs. The beats are ambitious, soaked in a monstrous, bombastic glory with moments of blissful minimalism that prepare you for the next smile-inducing surprise. This sound was achieved with expertly plucked samples, analog synths, household percussion, and a team of adventurous musicians that understood his sonic vision. Pheromone Heavy is a collection of songs about the experiences that are inherently a part of us posing the question: what if we never stopped chasing our dreams?
