Something Wicked This Way Comes

The Herbaliser

A cinematic collision of gritty London boom-bap and lush orchestral jazz. Dusty, mysterious, and perfectly tuned for the city after dark.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the title track builds from a creeping bassline into a full-blown orchestral noir theme
The sharp, rhythmic interplay between the live horn section and Ollie Teeba's precision scratching on Verbal Animé
The seven-minute slow burn of Mr Holmes that feels like a lost detective film score
