The 'New Truth' EP features 3 unique tracks that stand out from the multitude of records that are routinely being churned out by the majority of independent record labels today.

Flexuous brings an undeniable groove & funk to each track, and combines this with subtle but memorable synth hooks - making this EP an absolute joy to listen to. www.infamouslightrecordings.com
