¢olor$ is a new Pittsburgh-based electronic producer whose slow-burning EP EXOTICA caught our attention for its cohesiveness and warm, wavy sound.

Impressively, ¢olor$ manages to give the project an expansive sound without piling heaping layers of synths onto each song; every element is essential.

Each of the EP’s six tracks flows perfectly into one another, but the real standouts are “Mariah” and “OMW.”

“Mariah” with its distorted, barely-there vocal sample has a surreal quality that gives it some real emotional depth. It sounds like an XXYYXX song, but without all the creepy backmasking.

“OMW” is a little brighter than the rest of the project, but it retains the cleanness that makes EXOTICA really stand out.
