Here’s a chill little instrumental number for a slothful saturday spent decompressing from Thanksgiving dinner and Black Friday shopping.

Botany explores the cosmic nexus of shimmering psychedelia, blissed-out pop, and instrumental hip-hop, as he turns recycled sounds into something thoroughly modern. For Spencer there’s a therapeutic value in reconfiguring the “noise” of an information-dense consumer culture into something nourishing and honest. He collects artifacts…scavenged bits of ephemera…all of the organic and inorganic matter that passes through our hands and heads everyday and he uses them to build something deeply personal. Ultimately, he reminds us that the natural world we are a part of is one of boundless wonder and color

Botany is the musical moniker of Spencer Stephenson and well what could sound better than listening to this while engaging in some “botany” of your own *wink wink.* Botany’s debut 5-song EP, Feeling Today is out now on Western Vinyl.
