Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed electronic producer's debut full-length album functions as a sweeping, highly personal multimedia concept piece detailing his grandparents' emigration from the UK to New York in the 1960s. Completely ditching club-ready house tempos, the record heavily utilizes a ten-piece string section and gorgeous, cinematic ambient jazz compositions. It was widely praised as a breathtakingly mature, deeply biographical sonic narrative.
