about

Hormone self-released their eponymous debut in 2017, chiseling out tracks from the bedrock of boogie funk and bedroom disco with forays into the hazier quadrants of dance pop. “Smoothsayer,” their new EP on Dream Chimney, sees the duo leaning into a more focused version of this sound, with smacky drums, luxe synth pads and rubbery bass lines rolling out alongside contrasting tracks with a sense of quiet weightlessness, all tied together with the cool, drizzly beauty of Clement’s vocal layers. Written and mixed during the summer of 2022 in Tucson, Arizona, “Lo-Sun Season” reflects the hallucinogenic heat of an asphalt parking lot at midday, while “Smoothsayer” sounds just like pulling out of that lot for a 90 degree midnight cruise along barren cactus-studded highways. Rounding out the compact 4 trackers are remixes that give the tracks the full Dream Chimney treatment, with a breakified dreamgaze flip of Smoothsayer by labelmate Sorcerer and a balearic chug dub of Wallfacer by the Chimney's own.
