Joe Nora

is a tour

de force

musician,

a beatmaker

crafting cohesive

and immersive

EPs and LPs

frequently and with

precision. Most recently

the West Coaster

dropped a solo EP

Field Trip Day

through Stereofox Records.

At just under

ten minutes, let it

soundtrack

the next time you skate

in an abandoned pool.

Alongside this EP,

Joe Nora also released

an EP with UK rapper

Kelvo. Dropped

through Alpha Pup Records,

Muuvs

is a five song

cruising EP.

Hazy clouds

and open sunroofs.

Further proof

U.S. ears need

to hear Kelvo,

and further proof

Joe Nora needs

to work with more

rappers. His beats

demand it.

The track "Sleek"

is a particular favorite.

Sheesh.
