There Were Seven

The Herbaliser

Gritty, cinematic hip-hop where noir-inspired brass meets dusty turntable scratches. A sophisticated, late-night urban soundtrack with a heavy, live-band feel.

Find on Amazon

It's like a 70s spy movie soundtrack if the director was obsessed with boom-bap.

A tense and sophisticated urban noir that feels like a high-stakes heist unfolding in the shadows.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive entry of the horn section on 'Return of the Seven' which immediately establishes a high-stakes cinematic tone.
The intricate interplay between the live drum break and the aggressive scratching halfway through 'Take 'em On'.
The haunting, woodwind-led atmosphere of 'Deep in the Woods' that breaks the urban tension with a moment of eerie isolation.
