Album Notes & Community Reviews

Winning the prestigious Scottish Album of the Year Award, this remarkably inventive mini-album established the Edinburgh trio's truly genre-defying sound. The project merges heavily distorted, lo-fi hip-hop beats with gospel-inflected vocal harmonies and indigenous African chants, presenting a dark, politically charged vision of alternative rap.
