OK, look: we’re well aware a 21-minute slow-building ambient piece is a hard sell if you’re not specifically into that kind of thing, but LARAAJI and KRAMER have made some undeniably beautiful music in their own separate projects so it stands to reason they’d hit the jackpot when working together.

Premiere: Homeschool trails new EP with self-acceptance banger ‘My Only Enemy’
You may remember back in February when we premiered New Yorker Tom D’Agustino’s most recent single as Homeschool, ‘Bound to Be’. At the time, all we could say was there was more to come from them this year, with no indication of what form that might take. Well, it turns out there’s a new EP …
