Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following up the dense abstraction of 'AZD', electronic producer Darren Cunningham utilizes prominent vocal features for the first time in his career, enlisting Sampha, Zsela, and Aura T-09. Framed conceptually as a romantic tragedy set in a space station, the album blends muffled, melancholic piano loops with hazy, fragmented house rhythms. It creates a deeply haunting, impressionistic atmosphere of technological isolation.
