The SOTA crew can describe this better than I can:
"Today marks the release of SOTA's latest project, 'Altered State' -- a collection of 7 songs produced in-house and is some of our best work to date. Following the release of our debut "SeaCal" in April 2010 this free EP shows a marked progression in the musical styles and tastes of us three (Parker, HY, and Thaddeus). It blends heavy electronic production with original composition and edgy lyrics depicting the literal state of an artist constantly creating in an ever changing environment. Produced by @ParkerJoe, edited, mixed, and mastered by @PSMOOV of MAD RAD. If you like the music, do your thing to support and let other people know where they can get it. For now, listen, and enjoy"
