Anchovies

A polarizing exercise in minimalism. Dusty, drum-subdued loops provide a murky backdrop for sharp, street-wise lyricism. It is hip-hop stripped to its skeleton.

It's like a gritty noir film where the drums are missing and the vinyl crackle tells half the story.

A claustrophobic and gritty urban meditation that feels like eavesdropping on a conversation in a rain-slicked alley.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarringly quiet percussion on 'Panties in a Jumble' that forces the listener to lean into Planet Asia's gravelly delivery.

The haunting, skeletal piano loop on 'Dalai Lama Slang' that creates an atmosphere of high-stakes tension.

The way 'Deep in the Casket' uses a murky, submerged sample to evoke a feeling of claustrophobic urban isolation.
