Solace is the debut extended play by American rapper Earl Sweatshirt. [1] It was uploaded to his unofficial YouTube channel dar Qness on April 28, 2015. Sweatshirt describes this release as "music from when [he] hit the bottom and found something". [2] Solace is dedicated to Sweatshirt's mother, and lyrical themes include drugs, insomnia, depression, losing friends, death, and missing his grandmother. [3]
Upon release, Solace received critical acclaim. Vice's Noisey called it "beautiful", [4] Spin called it "whoozy and complicated". [5] Pitchfork gave it a positive review calling it "a tranquil 10-minute rap suite" that "seeks out a glimmer of hope in the dark" and that "Earl grasps the great distance of loved ones, even when he sees them so close." [6]
