Quality Time Recordings is a new LA-based imprint that kicked off its catalogue last week with London-based artist Count Counsellor‘s debut EP, & The Childhood Heroes—which was co-produced and co-written with Fred, Red Bull Music Academy alumnus and one half of the Brian Eno- approved duo Sylas. The four-track EP was inspired by Count’s childhood, “the moments that shaped him and the heroes who elevated him.” This childhood wonderment is ever apparent in closing cut, “AKidOutThere.” Opening with an undeniable nostalgic feel, the track floats through whispered field recordings, organic textures, and pensive vocals, unpinned by a thick, gurgling bassline and with colorful synths riding up top. “AKidOutThere” can be grabbed for free below, with the full EP available here.
