TLV041 – DREAM COP – MANGO EP
Monday 24th October marks the release of the Mango EP by Dream Cop, the pseudonym of Washington D.C. native, Tommy Davidson.
Featuring 4 original tracks and 3 remixes on the flip, the Mango EP is a dense inward looking listen, built upon immaculately constructed layers of sound. The foggy psychedelia of lead track “Beach City / Carol I Know” interpolates various refrains from Beach Boys songs to create what might be the creative high point of chillwave thus far, while “Marooned” and “Daily Mirage” display an ability to transgress that genre’s characteristics to create something more challenging and cerebral.
Pressed on 12” white label vinyl, the record is strictly limited to just 100 hand-numbered copies. The EP has already received recognition on several renowned sites, including Stereogum, Pitchfork and Altered Zones.
