The debut album from Montreal trio Planet Giza is a sunny 30-minute break on a dark winter day. Composed of three members, Tony Stone, DoomX, and Rami.B(izzle), the group has outstanding chemistry on Added Sugar. The buttery-smooth production lives up to the name of the album and complements Stone’s lush, melodic flows.
