Jam out to New Zealand psychedelic-soul duo Electric Wire Hustle on their ambient-expressive cumbersome-weighted new one “Brother Sun” which features an off-kilter-transverse hip-hop leaning vivid-opposite beat that meshes well with the dreamy soul-inspired emotion-stirring vocals of Kiwi B3 remix-darling Kimbra—a Grammy Award winner who we think makes the production.
