Album Notes & Community Reviews
The celebrated British producer incorporates global field recordings and subtle club rhythms into a remarkably lush, melodic, and soothing electronic journey. Exploring themes of constant movement, exile, and human displacement, the album balances deep, driving basslines with gorgeous guest vocal performances from Rhye and Nick Murphy. It acts as an incredibly polished, emotionally resonant high-water mark for modern downtempo music.
