Beat

by Bowery Electric

Beat cover art

A seminal post-rock/trip-hop album blending downtempo, hip-hop-inspired drum loops with hazy, distorted shoegaze guitars and minimal, ethereal vocals. Produced by Lawrence Chandler and Martha Schwendener, it is described as a "narcotized fog" of sound—dense, atmospheric, and melancholic, often compared to Massive Attack or Portishead.
