Let’s begin with a cassette tape. Not metaphorically. Literally. The first thing you hear on Uprooted, the new EP from Toronto-based alternative R&B artist Ember L.I, is the soft, unmistakable click of plastic and magnetic tape being shuffled into place.

Let’s be extremely clear from the start: Arsenal of Democracy by Energy Whores is not here to be your “background music while you pretend to answer emails” album. This is not productivity-core.
