Crooks & Lovers

A foundational post-dubstep document. Shuffling domestic sounds and grainy micro-samples create a tactile, lonely, and deeply human electronic landscape.

It sounds like someone turned the background noise of a rainy London apartment into a beautiful, glitchy beat.

A restless, urban introspection that finds beauty in grainy textures and domestic echoes.

The way the percussion in Mayor feels like it is physically tumbling down a flight of stairs
The ghostly, pitch-shifted vocal that drifts in and out of the rhythmic haze on Would Know
