Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released under his own name after retiring his Third Eye Foundation moniker, this album marks a major shift towards song-based structures. 'The Mess We Made' is a dark and depressive work, blending his signature glitchy, downtempo electronic production with the somber, folk-inflected singing that would define his future output. It's a groundbreaking record that sits at the nexus of folktronica and trip-hop, a sad and beautiful soundtrack to urban decay.
