Get a Taste of "Rare Treat," the New Collaborative EP Between Myke Bogan and the Last Artful, Dodgr

By Matthew Singer

Rare Treat is right.

How else to describe a project bringing together two of the most exciting voices in Portland music? Today, the EYRST label dropped a four-song collaboration Myke Bogan and the Last Artful, Dodgr, and it's as mesmerizing as you'd expect. Bogan's perma-blunted internal monologue pairs perfectly with Dodgr's nasal sing-song flow and producer Neill Von Tally's cosmic beatscapes. It is effortlessly magnetic, and the only complaint is that it's not longer.

The full thing is available to stream on Spotify or purchase through iTunes, but you can sample "Morning Dew"—a shimmering solar flare of a love song—below.
