Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Nottingham-based electronic duo constructs a highly cinematic and deeply nostalgic debut, weaving obscure thrift-store vinyl samples into modern beat frameworks. 'Programmed to Love' balances lighthearted lounge aesthetics with melancholic, downtempo trip-hop rhythms. The intricate collage of swooning strings and varied vocal snippets secured their place in the burgeoning chillout scene.
