Imaginary Friends

Dusty, vinyl-crackle trip-hop from the Australian underground. A moody collection of nocturnal beats, jazz loops, and intricate turntablism.

It's like a rainy night in a jazz club, but the drummer is a turntable and the air is thick with vinyl dust.

A quiet, nocturnal introspection fueled by dusty jazz loops and rhythmic turntable patterns.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the title track 'Imaginary Friends' weaves haunting vocal snippets through a thick, head-nodding bassline.

The transition into 'Otford to Wenty' where the rhythm mimics the mechanical clatter of a moving train.

The sharp, rhythmic scratching on 'Bravo' that feels like a conversation between the turntables and the beat.
