Lost & Found

June 27, 2023

Bright infectious rhythms, warm instrumentation, and catchy melodies collide on Intrinsical's chill house EP Lost & Found. A reflection of Intrinsical's experiences writing the album while traveling across South America, Europe and the UK, Lost & Found is about entering uncharted territory and making new discoveries. 

Each track is a unique sonic expression of Intrinsical's influences: original recordings from the Amazon breathe life into chill lofi house opener Lost; jazz and house piano progressions are foundations for Shelter; soul and funk grooves intertwine in Lovin'; rhythms of Colombia's Caribbean coast play with jazz in Stop; while Found rounds out the album with an intimate R&B vibe.
