Album Notes & Community Reviews

James Holden's 'The Inheritors' is a sprawling, psychedelic masterpiece of modern electronic music, inspired by paganism and British folklore. The album features unstable analog synths and complex, tribal-influenced rhythms that feel organic and wild rather than programmed. It is a dense and highly rewarding listening experience that pushed IDM into a more ritualistic and earthy territory.
