Inkke 'Secret Palace EP' (Lucky Me)
‘Secret Palace’ is arguably Inkke’s most expansive record yet: now backed by LuckyMe, his music reaches new levels here. From the twinkling melodies and giddy feel to opener ‘New Day Theme’ to the playful, club bounce of Memphis-inspired tracks like ‘Chores’ and ’Simmer’ (the latter of which bangs that bit harder), Inkke’s sound feels mature but, more importantly, his own. Even the glitchy, frenetic pace of ‘Sorry’, which tugs at his exploratory side as a producer, feels well embedded within the broader context of the EP.
