Take Care is the definitive document of urban isolation in the digital age.
It sounds like the interior of a luxury car idling in the rain: expensive, insulated, and deeply lonely. The production, helmed largely by Noah '40' Shebib, pioneered the 'underwater' sound, where high frequencies are rolled off to create a sense of intimacy and claustrophobia.
It is an album that exists almost entirely after midnight, capturing the specific moment when the party ends and the self-reflection begins.
