Waves

Twenty-two miniature nautical sketches built from dusty jazz loops and ocean field recordings. A masterclass in maritime lo-fi hip-hop.

April 18, 2015 · Vinyl Digital

A serene, nautical solitude that feels like watching the tide from a safe, dry distance.

Moments Worth Listening For

The seamless transition from the crashing surf of the intro into the muffled, jazz-inflected piano loop of seaview.

The way the drum programming on wave feels like it is swaying back and forth, mimicking the motion of a small boat.

The haunting, distant lighthouse signal that pulses through the penultimate track, grounding the album's nautical theme.
