Take a Listen to Prom’s Sweeping Debut Ep [stream]

PROM’s brand of dream pop is a soundtrack without a movie. As you listen to their debut EP, Keeping Company, new landscapes are constantly constructed in your mind, morphing from day to twilight to night to morning with each passing track. The color palette references the tones of the sky as we sit beneath it, privy to each breathtaking scene change. The Brooklyn duo has a flair for largeness. Synths soar out of sight before returning to the ground while rhythms rumble beneath our feet, and we are given the sensation that we are witnesses to something massive and meaningful, yet intimate and intricate. The production quality is crystalline and balanced, and the writing structures suggest PROM are well-listened but never imitative, drawing out the qualities they adore but not the sounds. Their sound and their story are both cinematic and compelling, and Keeping Company is the type of EP you put on either to escape your everyday or to embellish it. Listen to “Flickers” from PROM’s debut EP, Keeping Company, which you can stream in its entirety on their Soundcloud page.
