Well I did allready hear the new Quench release :) and it's way different
from there CD release (wich was really experimental)
The EP contains 4 tracks with a clear line. The tracks are pretty laidback
and those R&B influences are not really obvious , but the beats are
"advanced" but still clear enough to let your head go up and down the whole
track (like Method man and Mary j Blige is the "all I need" video :). Its
not as easy going as Arovane ,it has that relaxed atmosphere but there is
some hidden energy wich wants to come out. I think its really fresh....
