Amnesiac

A dark, claustrophobic collage of jazz, glitchy IDM, and warm analog rock. Recorded during the Kid A sessions, it feels like a dusty, half-remembered dream.

Subterranean companion

A dusty, subterranean warmth breathes through these eleven tracks, trading the sleek, digital isolation of their previous work for the crackle of tape hiss and cabinet hum. The arrangements feel unearthed rather than polished, layering backwards vocal tracks and clattering percussion to build a claustrophobic, late-night sanctuary.

11Life in a GlasshouseA weeping, funeral-style brass band arrangement completely takes over the final minutes of 'Life in a Glasshouse' to close the album.
02Pyramid SongThe rhythm of 'Pyramid Song' shifts on an unstable, swinging piano chord progression that makes the tempo feel suspended in mid-air.
