Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their first release since coming out as non-binary, the acclaimed British poet and rapper teams up once again with producer Dan Carey. The densely layered, synthesizer-heavy tracks serve as a cathartic examination of personal resilience, societal anxiety, and the desperate need for human connection in an increasingly isolated world.
