In the hazy glow of 2025’s nostalgia boom, After‘s self-titled debut EP arrives like a forgotten flip phone rediscovered in a drawer—charming, unapologetically retro, and brimming with that early-aughts sparkle. The duo of Graham Epstein and Justine Dorsey, both born on the same day in 1995, channels Massive Attack‘s brooding atmospheres with Michelle Branch‘s pop wistfulness, crafting a 16-minute fever dream of trip-hop laced with Y2K gloss. It’s Frutiger Aero aesthetics in audio form: glossy waves, dolphin motifs, and hashtags screaming #livelaughlove revival.
