Album Notes & Community Reviews

Adopting the conceptual guise of property developers, the London-based collective utilizes 'Stunning Luxury' to critique gentrification and the modern housing crisis. The group incorporates homemade log synthesizers and propulsive motorik rhythms, creating a jagged, theatrical atmosphere that mirrors the anxiety of urban displacement.
