Options

Released in June 2016, Options serves as a definitive statement of Hippie Sabotage's signature 'psychedelic trap' sound. Comprising four tracks, the EP showcases the Sacramento brothers' (Kevin and Jeff Saurer) ability to fuse blues-influenced electric guitar leads with the rhythmic architecture of modern hip-hop. This specific release solidified their position in the electronic landscape following their viral success with the 'Habits (Stay High)' remix. Sonically, the EP is characterized by extreme spatial processing, with heavy use of reverb and delay creating a 'hazy' or 'cloud-like' texture. The track 'High Enough' became a standout hit, epitomizing their style of high-contrast production where delicate, soulful melodies are paired with punishing 808s. Critically and commercially, Options is viewed as a bridge between their early experimental beats and their later, more polished festival-ready anthems, maintaining a raw, bedroom-produced intimacy that remains a fan favorite.
