Album Notes & Community Reviews

Leila Arab's sophomore effort further bends the boundaries of trip-hop and IDM into highly surreal, fractured electronic soul. 'Courtesy of Choice' contrasts intricate, glitchy drum programming with warm, melancholic vocal features and woozy keyboard melodies. Her distinctive, off-kilter production style secured her position as one of the most innovative producers orbiting the Bj枚rk and Rephlex scenes.
