Rainforest is the debut extended play (EP) by American musician Clams Casino, released on June 27, 2011, through Tri Angle Records.
[6] Volpe noted in an interview with DMY that, had he completed the EP a few days later, "it wouldn't have happen[ed] at all!".
[3] Steve Shaw of Fact wrote that Rainforest saw Volpe pursuing "a clipped kind of Amazonian industrial" sound, contrary to rap's usual "straighter structures".
[7] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described it as "garbled and maddening and also intoxicating, full of coughs, skitters, striated vocal samples and groaning, morbid bass", with the bass being "unusually thick, almost catastrophe-level", "[moving] with force while he spreads out decidedly pretty and melodic samples atop it".
[8] Randall Roberts of Los Angeles Times wrote that "Treetop" "is a National Geographic acid trip: bird songs, frog croaks and insect crackles funneled through hot springs" and "Gorilla" "sounds like a '90s trip-hop track stuck in quicksand".
