Album Notes & Community Reviews

Co-produced by electronic pioneer Matthew Herbert, Mica Levi's debut album is a wildly inventive collision of grime beats, classical training, and DIY pop. The record famously utilizes unconventional, often custom-built instruments鈥攊ncluding a modified guitar known as a 'chu' and vacuum cleaners鈥攖o construct its abrasive, highly rhythmic textures. The release established Levi as a fiercely original compositional voice in modern British music.
