Released through Nest HQ, the bass producer’s newest release is a haunting and powerful ode to trials and tribulations. More specifically, the three-track EP was crafted from a retrospective gaze at Whipped Cream’s rising career. “I want you to know you’re not alone if you’re chasing something right now,” she explained, “and no matter how hard it is if you remain pushing, scratching and trying new things to make it happen…you can get there.” The entirety of Persistence is submerged in a thick air of uneasiness, reinforced by eerie uses of vocal samples and snares that are hard to pin down. Amid the solemnity, Whipped Cream still manages to showcase incredible low-end work at a lumbering pace—drawing parallels to the constant perils of passionate pursuit.
