Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiling a series of three highly limited vinyl EPs released throughout 2010, 'Tryptych' serves as a massive, occult-themed journey through subterranean electronics. The Manchester duo masterfully layers esoteric, vinyl-crackling samples over incredibly heavy, slow-burning dub techno rhythms to conjure an atmosphere of absolute dread and cinematic suspense. The three-disc collection firmly established them as leading architects of the modern hauntology and dark ambient movements.
