Boogie down with Almost Barely’s new collection of instrumental tracks, Rare Fantasia, Vol. 1. Most of the tracks give off a nostalgic, soulful, easy listening vibe: an avalanche of samples, beats, and ideas builds an imaginative and atmospheric world, while simultaneously stimulating enough to bounce you around the room. With tracks culled from the past several years this is a true collage of an album as it’s is both familiar and free form, structured and improvisational. And better yet, it’s insanely fun to listen to.
