Critical reception
[edit]Okayafrica stated that the EP is a crumbling tunnel of drum whips, muffled vocals, and scraped effects.[1] Rated | MC = 3/5 by PXY Magazine, the EP is well throughout and brilliantly executed,[2] with a very lo-fi production to La Bella Vita, IIndman was recognised by fairly known blog Mishka NYC stating that "If you are a fan of instrumentals that drift you miles away, this was definitely up your alley, consisting of eighteen minutes of instrumental relaxation, creeping along and pleasant to the ears"[3]
