Slime & Reason

September 1, 2008 · Big Dada Recordings

A playful yet profound exploration of urban life through a hazy, dub-soaked lens.

Moments Worth Listening For

The infectious, bouncy synth line of 'Buff Nuff' that instantly shifts the album's gravity toward the dancefloor.

The way the bass drops into a cavernous dub space during the transition into 'A New Dub'.

The vulnerable, gospel-tinged vocal delivery on 'It's Me Oh Lord' that strips away the bravado.
