PHOLKS

I have never been to a party so early before, and I'm happy he's getting his praise! I first discovered Leon back in 2018, and now, 7 years later, he is finally blowing up. Feels like a long time coming. MUTT was pretty good, obviously, and this EP plays well as a mini-successor to that album. Some neat production on 5MoreMinutes that I've never heard before, but couldn't feel more R&B. Baccarat also deserves its props for that guitar. Oh, lord, does it hit right. It's smooth and polished overall and delivers exactly what you would want Leon Thomas to be doing.
