That Reefer Makes Me Paranoid, This Reefer Makes Me Relaxed

These days I'd rather catch a buzz from a good record than from a plant and the new project from Unicorns/Islands/Human Highway member Nick Thorburn is nothing short of euphoric.

A collaboration between Thorburn and hip-hop producer Daddy Kev (Busdriver, Freestyle Fellowship, Awol One), Reefer's debut mini-album is a chilled-out, tropical adventure filled with down-tempo beats, steel guitars and ukuleles that are guaranteed to ease your mind. The gentle sway of "May Baleen" may put you to sleep, but you'll wake up wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a smile on your face.

Reefer's self-titled debut is available now on Alpha Pup.
