Released February 29, 2020

Inspired by the dreamy, reverb-drenched music of surf rock, WVVY breathes new life into the genre while drawing from elements of hip-hop and the Pacific Northwest. Bands like Khruangbin and Kikagaku Moyo come to mind when listening to iNDIGO’s debut album. However, there’s not quite a perfect comparison as WVVY maintains its own unique identity as an instrumental beat tape first and foremost.

iNDIGO started by digging up old music videos from the 60’s and 70’s to draw inspiration from. The album’s sound took shape during experimental sample sessions with fellow It's Future Time artist, AED. In these sessions, iNDIGO played the role of sound engineer while AED played various instruments, vibing out to beachy, psych-rock visuals which were projected on a loop in the background. Once they had a healthy batch of short original sample loops, iNDIGO took them back to his studio and constructed the album from these elements.

Produced, engineered, and mixed by iNDIGO. Additional mixing by Sunday Grip and AED. Original instrument samples composed and performed by AED. Additional instrumentation by Scott Funkhouser on Tracks 1 and 8. Mastered by Ryan Foster for Foster Mastering.

Created from a three hour-long jam session recorded entirely onto cassette and later edited…and then edited again. There is no glorifying or glossing over the inherent imperfections of this recording; a shared moment in time. The end product feels something like a love child between A Tribe Called Quest and a Stranger Things jam band.

Ghostride is a collaboration between Portland based It's Future Time artist/producers, AED and Sunday Grip. Their mutual passion for hand-made art has fueled their musical friendship. The two continue to explore the bounds of sound through pure exploration of new and old techniques.

Performed, recorded, edited, mixed and mastered by AED and Sunday Grip.

Produced by Portland native, AED, this EP is the culmination of his love for playing instruments, found sound, and pure nostalgia. Each musical phrase is born from cassette tape recordings of past crew sessions and chopped with the SP303 and SP404. A truly handcrafted sound is captured, connecting future to past, cosmic to earth, and tomorrow to today.

New Dreams is a soothing lullaby, a shot of hip hop adrenaline, a love letter to soul. It will simultaneously lift you up, hips swaying involuntarily, and slow you down into a quixotic stillness. Fifteen hypnotic songs layered with refined sample chops, live bass, keys, guitar, and original drum compositions - New Dreams paints a lush Fern-Gully soundscape that will transport you to a vibrant, magnetic realm. The songs are smooth and laid back, but with a soulful edge that comes with twenty-five years of hip hop behind it. This album, actively redefines the sound of Pacific NorthWest hip hop and is paving the way for future sounds. New Dreams was overseen and exclusively produced by one of Portland’s most prolific and under-the-radar producers and engineers, Sunday Grip.

A re-imagining of the golden era of 90’s hip hop, Album One is as smooth as it is jarring. It is unfettered by standard song formating which allows each song to take on life of its own. Yet the album still listens seamlessly through a strong aesthetic. Album One is a meandering tale of existentialism - if you were a psychedelic alien from Mars with a great vinyl collection. AED’s emphatic, poetic rhymes are delivered masterfully and with the effortless rhythm of someone who was born rapping. While Sundaygrip’s deeply authentic production style creates a palpable tension between easygoing melodies and raw, electric power. Album One grabs you by the hand and takes you on a smooth, slightly nostalgic ride through a day in the life of Ghostride.

Album 56 is a minimalist dreamscape of laid-back beats, clean layered sample chops, and live bass. An instrumental experiment - this EP is comprised of six smooth songs that transport you to a specific time and place in life. A reimagining of jazz and a love letter to lo-fi - it serves as a road trip for your psyche, a milkshake for your soul, and a hiatus for your ego. When listening to this album, it’s easy to find yourself slowly sinking into the warm, soothing soundscape and losing all track of time. Deeply personal and unapologetically authentic, Album 56 feels like sitting in silence with someone you love, satisfied just existing.

AED’s origins are a bit hazy, but it appears that he has been quietly helping to shape Portland’s DIY music scene for the past fifteen years. He is a fog-like apparition melting into the ethers, an ever-present phantom that never fully appears but is always boosting others with his presence. AED has consistently brought the vibes, uplifted beats, and thrown down in the name of exploring the overlap of community and music. His sound is nostalgic-funk with a hint of ambient-mysticism that will lull you into a dreamless, quixotic slumber with a smile. Though his main focus is music, his creative output includes multi-media art with an old school handmade aesthetic. What AED has up his sleeves will only reveal itself with time, but whatever it is - we know it’s gonna be dope.
