“State Of Grace” is the debut EP from Armagh rapper Cohly B. The EP will be released on June 30th in The Batcave in Lurgan. “Intro” has a brilliant beat with some top notch lyrical content.

The lead track and single City Sleeps opens with an assuredness I’m sure Tigwara have not felt in their hearts since the EP cam

Lorcán Murray finds himself happy to wander the woods with Forrests second offering. As is inevitable in ambient music the E.P. opens with a discordant fuzziness reminiscent of waking up on a Sunday morning. Teeth comes fizzing out of your speakers like the unintelligible memories of the night before, weaving in and out of focus before the song dares to take a subtle turn towards positivity as it solidifies itself. The persistent if not consistent breathing in the song did ma
