From the Young Gifted & Broke movement comes hip-hop outfit @Peace with their latest release – a 10 track conceptual EP about a failed relationship aptly named Girl Songs.
Featuring Tom Scott (Home Brew) and Lui Tuiasau on vocals, @Peace won over the bloggers with the release of their self-titled debut in 2011, which featured a musical soundscape laid down by Christoph El Truento (Wonderful Noise), Hayden ‘Dandruff’ Dicky and Brandon Haru.
Since 2011, @Peace have been working on their first major release, a conceptual album about space, finality, quantum physics and other things that you probably can't dance to. Girl Songs is the preview to this craft – veering slightly off the boutique rap track that he normally takes, Tom Scott reveals that listening back to ‘Girl Songs’ is like “listening to my subconscious shout at me from under a pile of suppressed denial”.
- @Peace have also been nominated for the Taite Award.
