The Archives Department - Solstice / Used To

The Archives Department is a record label and recording alias of Joseph Randolph, a producer and musician based in NY, also known as Depression Quilts and Rough Year (definitely check out his brilliant EP "Mongrel" from 2015). He's just premiered on label's bandcamp a two-track single "Solstice / Used To". "Solistce" is filled with mellow, leftfield beats that bring to mind works of AFTA-1, but with a post-dubstep bass lingeing somewhere in the back, while "Used To" has a fractured, chillwave-y feel to it. Short and sweet. Stream the whole thing after the jump, and buy for $1 here.
