Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Belfast DJ and producer fully embraces his cinematic inclinations, explicitly constructing this album as a 'soundtrack to an unmade movie.' 'Bow Down to the Exit Sign' moves away from his earlier dancefloor-oriented breakbeats, leaning heavily into moody, atmospheric downtempo layered with live alternative rock instrumentation. The project features prominent vocal contributions from Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream and Jon Spencer.
