Jerome Potter and Markus Garcia are the viral force that is LOL Boys, the Los Angeles via Montreal duo unveiling their first release on Friends Of Friends. From collaborating with Hot City, co-owning the Body High label, remixing the likes of Korallreven, Gold Panda, Para One and Salva, and receiving DJ support from Diplo, Nguzunguzu, Brodinski, Shlohmo, and many others, LOL Boys bring their sample free 'Changes' EP, a breezy set primed for the summer.

The title track opens the EP with prominent jazz influences, the glassy ride cymbal and standup bass providing a swinging rhythm that counteracts vocals from Heart Streets. ‘Mind's Clouded’ follows with an off kilter, eerie tone, the bumbling drums and foggy synths creating an uncanny mystic. ‘Get Close To Me’ picks up the tempo, a dancey tune fitted with vocals from Angelina Lucero, while ‘Don't Want You’ closes the quartet of original cuts on an atmospheric and ephemeral note.

The 'Changes' EP rounds out with a pair of re-treads of the title track; one a single-take saxophone cover version from Anenon, the other an exclusive remix from Shlohmo.
