Trojan Horse [Explicit Content]

Limited vinyl picture disc LP pressing. Sebastian Paul's debut Trojan Horse EP is an eclectic, 5-track glimpse into the Colorado-based artist's prowess as a producer, vocalist, and songwriter. Released in summer 2018 via Mad Decent, Sebastian's hybrid of future and retro soundscapes are dusted with off-kilter samples, electric guitar flourishes, and wall-shaking bass. Trojan Horse is both distant and familiar at the same time. Cutting his unconventional pop vocals in his car, the makeshift isolation booth anchors Sebastian's unique sound. On the title track, you hear the thoughts of a man reflecting on his life and embracing his future, all layered over rumbling bass and ripping guitars. Juxtapose that with "Ezra", which sounds like the result of locking Kaytranada and Lou Reed in a basement studio for the night, and you find that Sebastian's sound is not so easy to pin down.
