‘Days Ago’ by Joe Nora

"Days Ago," the new EP from Joe Nora, drifts like a cassette left in the sun—warped, wistful, and beautifully bleary. It’s lo-fi jazz rap for the insomniac soul, all dusted drums and sepia synths, chopped like memory, looped like longing. Beats bloom and disintegrate in under two minutes, evoking the flicker of late-night bike rides through a half-sleep Los Angeles. The album features notable Chill artists - Sara Kawai, Criibaby, and Surfer Dave.
