Splinter

Sneaker Pimps

A pivot from pop-trip-hop into a darker, more insular world. Brittle acoustic guitars meet deep sub-bass and Chris Corner's breathy, vulnerable delivery.

October 25, 1999 · Clean Up Records

Find on Amazon

A deeply insular, nocturnal meditation on isolation and the beauty found in dark spaces.
