Londinium cover art

The London collective's debut operates as a highly ambitious, classically infused iteration of trip-hop. Featuring prominent rapping from Rosko John and deeply soulful vocals by Roya Arab, the sprawling compositions heavily utilize live string sections alongside traditional electronic breakbeats. Following its release, the core trio fractured, leading to a massive stylistic pivot toward progressive rock on their subsequent efforts.
