Affiliations aside, this EP is, to put it simply, utterly dreamy: a quartet of coasting, seductive house tracks over which Lustwerk's languid raps depict a life of sun-bleached repose. "Tape 22" and "Soul Control" both unfold at a floor-friendly rate, their gorgeous pads and warm percussion nestled in a light bed of tape hiss. The appropriately named "Leisure" is even better, though it wraps up after a teasing three-and-a-half minutes. "Capabilities Survey," meanwhile, sees Lustwerk trade in the supine vibe for something slightly more confrontational. It works, but prettiness is what Lustwerk does best—and he does it far better than most.
