Dagger Paths

Crafted by producer Matthew Barnes, this heavily lauded release uniquely bridges desolate R&B sampling with Ennio Morricone-esque western guitar twang. The cavernous, dub-influenced production evokes the misty, ancient landscapes of the Wirral Peninsula where it was recorded. It quickly became a defining document of the early 2010s post-dubstep boom, praised for its organic, deeply haunting atmosphere.
