Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rebounding from the critical backlash of their self-titled debut, the Scottish group enlisted producer Colin Emmanuel to help streamline their eccentric fusion of genres. 'Hot Shots II' blends acoustic strumming with crisp hip-hop beats, electronic sequencing, and subdued vocal harmonies, resulting in a distinctively warm and hypnotic strain of folktronica. The record is characterized by its nocturnal atmosphere and meticulous rhythmic grooves.
