What We Made

Example

A dusty, sample-heavy snapshot of mid-2000s London. Before the stadium synths, Example delivered gritty indie-rap vignettes filled with wit and urban melancholy.

It's like The Streets but with a bit more indie-pop melody and a lot more acoustic guitar.

A grounded, melancholic reflection on urban life delivered with a sharp, satirical British wit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The mournful acoustic guitar loop on the title track that grounds the entire album's reflective tone.
The biting, self-deprecating wit of the delivery on 'You Can't Rap' over a skeletal, dusty drum break.
The transition into the melodic, almost Britpop-influenced chorus of 'So Many Roads' that balances the gritty verses.
