dystopian tea

Fifteen vignettes of dusty, tape-saturated beats and urban field recordings. A warm but lonely exploration of city life through a lo-fi lens.

January 15, 2018

A cozy, rain-slicked urban melancholy that feels like being alone but not lonely in a big city.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into 'urban garden' where the mechanical rhythm meets a delicate, organic piano loop.

The way the rain field recordings in 'it's raining here too' merge with the muffled, distant percussion.

The skeletal, haunting interpretation of 'clair de lune' that feels like a ghost of the original piece.
