Just Visiting

• Track Listing

Prolifically crafting beats from the UK, mtbrd is the latest artist to tackle Cold Busted's high-flying Jet Set series. With his self-released singles and albums - including last year's coffee-flavored Damn Fine - mtbrd has attracted a large following of downtempo-minded fans awaiting his latest beat-scapes. Just Visiting, his 4-song Jet Set installment is just the ticket. Mtbrd's soulful rhythm constructions and cut-up loops make the EP a top-flight addition to his growing discography. The title track opens Just Visiting with a bang - heavy boom-bap beats, cleverly assembled vocal hits, and it's dramatic change-ups give the cut an irresistible velocity. "So Long" carries it's soulful vibe through shimmering electric piano, short guitar riff splashes, and a crackling snare drum. Next is "Ti Amo" with it's cinematic flair, assisted by big drums, a pulsing low end, and evocative string phrases. "Lost In Translation" ends the journey, laying out chiming guitar chords, driving hand percussion, and infectious vocal melodies.
