Press Release:
Inkwell's "Kneesocks" the first release from the the western Canadian Danksoul imprint is a genre defying lesson in the art of the groove. The title track is a housed out dance floor churner sharing elements from the past, present and future all perfectly melded together with a drum beat that speaks to the soul. Canadian west coast legend Hrdvsion provides an awe-inspiring remix of "Kneesocks" that brings a tear to your eye with emotronic melodic progressions riding perfectly on a bed of punchy attitude filled beats. Inkwell rounds off the Ep with a deep thinker titled "Kozeark" that will tickle the dankest spots in your mind while keeping things simple and focusing once again on that all important groove.
