TRAPFONE – 813 (Video)

by .

DIRECTOR: Freddy Marschall
PRODUCERS: TRAPFONE (Betty Dawl & JxPvtty)
LATEST PROJECT: ENDORPHIN | Stream via iTunes or SoundCloud

With all the chaos that’s going on in the world today, TRAPFONE still finds a way to not only spread love and happiness with one of their standout tracks from their sophomore album, ENDORPHIN, they pay tribute to their hometown of Tampa, Florida with “813”. Our favorite fairy god mother, Betty Dawl breathes positivity into this song, as she’s serenades us about peace and unity within our communities. The other side of TRAPFONE, JxPvtty, sculpts the warming feel of sounds that  the song provides. A genuine pick me up to start your week off right. Even if you’re not from the “813”, this track radiates compassion and projects a sense of benevolence. There may seem to be no sure way to properly give back to a place that gave you the footing for your first steps, but this anthem will serve a great start.

TRAPFONE – ENDORPHIN (Album)

PRODUCERS: TRAPFONE (Betty Dawl & Jxpvtty)

Flip phone talk. Nextel chirp. TRAPFONE, our favorite digital laboratory experiment is finally back after a two year wait with their new album, ENDORPHIN. Tampa’s poet-producer duo, Betty Dawl & JXPVTTY are beginning to become myths within the underground. An electric and astral experience, only blessing the streets when they are in dire need of audio dope. I like to think of them as Florida’s very own rap Toro y Moi.

ENDORPHIN is a perfectly flowing project by TRAPFONE, that seems to put itself on repeat because it knows that you need to experience those waves once more. Then once again. With it being difficult to pick a standout track without naming the entire list, it’s hard to ignore the impact that “Loyalty” makes in a time where the word is looked at as a past time. But let’s not forget the traction that’s still building for the duo’s lead single “Sauce”. And what about the head bobbing and unapologetically heart warming ode to Tampa with “813”?! Or the sensual two part vibe out that is “Runaway”. Even the Pussy Palace inspirational fur baby, Quentin The Cat, got a theme song displayed on this work of art. Rooted through so much truth, when given attention, this album can be tear jerking.

A soundtrack for the day in the life of TRAPFONE, one of today’s most unique and expressive bands. Serving a wide range of vibrant rhythms and sounds throughout the spread of ten tracks. Each with a space age or color bursting day dream attached. This sound and these individuals aren’t anything that the world is used to, and still everything that the world needs during a time like this.

THIS SHIT BANG!

LATEST PROJECT: Prob Juz Sum Shapes [LISTEN]

After releasing their precious EP Prob Juz Sum Shapes earlier this year, Tampa duo TRAPFØNĘ (Betty Dawl & Jordan Patrick) return to our site with a somewhat mind-bending yet calm visual entitled “Breathe”. From meditating in a mystic forest, relaxing on the beach, and many cameos from inspiring ladies, you’ll feel at peace with yourself and also in a serene mood from the beautiful vocals Betty Dawl puts forth. Throughout this unique collective visual, you’ll soon start to acknowledge the beauty of nature, life and everything else around you. Take a moment and breathe. You can listen to more previous work from TRAPFØNĘ but make sure to take a look at the Harrison Ponce directed visual “Breathe” above first.
