Description
Pressed on Blue Marbled Colored Vinyl!
Bough is the new album from Deca & Dealz, who blend hip-hop, jazz, and psychedelic instrumentation with introspective and meditative lyricism. Despite never working together previously, the two artists sound like they’ve been collaborating for years—a sentiment Deca explores on the title track: "Dealz makes beats I go in/ A universal language we speak like old friends." It’s their mutual musical understanding that makes Bough such an incredible project.
Not only was Deca inspired by his collaborator’s production on the lyrical front, but he also put his own production skills to work to edit and reconstruct the album’s instrumentals. It makes for such a uniquely crafted sound that only these two could create.
