Album Notes & Community Reviews
Infusing his signature cinematic aesthetic with sleazy, groove-oriented production, 'The King of Nothing Hill' is a stylishly dark outing. The former Magazine bassist utilizes acid jazz rhythms and trip-hop atmospheres to create a highly sensual, nocturnal urban soundtrack.
