Stuart Roslyn (PRS) | Matthew Foundling (PRS) | Christopher Elmslie (PRS)

Breathy beats, vocal harmonies, hand claps and beatboxing bring a quirky touch to this upbeat album.

  1. Bag of Tricks
    Bag of Tricks4337/87 mixesSnaps, clicks, and claps set the pace, each forming their own rhythm and joined by a pulsing muted bass and quick gasping breaths. Booming toms, a ringing bell, and sticks tower over a percussive landscape that is imposing but jovial.
     
    2:08110 BPM
  2. Out of the Loop
    Out of the Loop4337/157 mixesClicking sticks and a bouncing tambourine lock down the backbeat and rhythm as crunching drums hop in. Battling soulful vocalizations flutter in and out before blending together as the drums grow bolder and anchor the final push to the end.
     
    2:21100 BPM
  3. Box of Beats
    Box of Beats4337/267 mixesMuted drum boom-taps into full, rounded clicks and hollow taps and vocalizations. An echoing guitar shreds a recurring note while soulful humming hops in and out, distorted and put back to normal along with a mosaic of all elements at once.
     
    2:1395 BPM
  4. Toy Chest
    Toy Chest4337/337 mixesWarm futuristic hums around scattered toms that find a groove while hollow snares lightly roll into a breezy landscape of clapping, shaking, and soft oohs slide up against a percussive chorus punctuated by a guiro that eases everything home.
     
    2:21150 BPM
  5. Sidewalk Jaunt
    Sidewalk Jaunt4337/407 mixesBouncing snaps and clicks join with myriad pitter-pattering claps to take on a booming kick drum and its companion clinks. Rhythms are changed up, tempos played with, and a chorus of whistling gives a bopping down the street vibe.
     
    1:57120 BPM
  6. Bubblegum Doo Wop
    Bubblegum Doo Wop4337/477 mixesPlosive doo-wop vocalizations, snapping and clapping form a foundation as waves of percussion bang and cling about. Warm whistling takes center stage until reassuring layered vocals stroll with the percussive choir towards a bright, feel-good close.
     
    1:5687 BPM
  7. Simple Times
    Simple Times4337/547 mixesBreathy yo-oh vocalization echoes as waves of darker synth crawl towards shaker and drum that bumps into twinkling electric bells and futuristic vocals against a faint boom-clap. A host of percussion headed by an imposing drum batters away to the end.
     
    2:24115 BPM
  8. Ain't Stopping Me
    Ain't Stopping Me4337/716 mixesFaint ticking against a clanging cowbell before rolling snares and muted bass rise up and contribute segueing into moments of claps, sticks, and glassy sounds soloing with the bass. Soothing vocalizations ooh and ah around the percussion.
