Moments Worth Listening For
The crackling, ethereal harp loop on track 2 that feels like a lost transmission from a 1970s jazz session.
The heavy, dragging swing of the kick drum on track 7 that perfectly illustrates the SP-1200's unique timing.
The way the kalimba melody on track 13 cuts through the thick, muddy bassline with surprising clarity.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
