Superluminal

Sofa Surfers

Heavy bass and noir-soul vocals collide in a rain-slicked urban landscape. A masterclass in tense, nocturnal trip-hop with a modern digital edge.

September 14, 2012 · Monoscope Productions

A sophisticated, nocturnal tension that feels both high-tech and deeply human.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, distorted bass line on 'Out, Damn Light' that feels like it's physically pushing against the speakers.
The transition into the soul-drenched vocal hook of 'Word in a Matchbox' which provides a moment of warmth in the cold production.
The way 'Glitches, Crashes & Ashes' dissolves into rhythmic static and textured noise to close the record.
