Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third studio album from the English producer seamlessly blends intricate IDM sound design, modern classical piano, and driving club rhythms. Marking a transition toward a heavier, more dancefloor-oriented sound, the tracks expertly balance aggressive, distorted bass sequences with moments of breathtaking acoustic serenity. The release significantly raised his profile, leading to prominent collaborations with Coldplay and Brian Eno.
