Album Notes & Community Reviews

Distinguishing themselves from their heavily electronic contemporaries on the Warp label, the British trio relied on live acoustic bass, drums, and guitar to construct their propulsive club music. 'Making Bones' is a muscular, darkly cinematic fusion of organic acid jazz and rapid-fire breakbeats, creating an intensely urban, nocturnal atmosphere.
