1988

Knxwledge

Twenty-two vignettes of dusty soul and heavy-swinging beats. A masterclass in tape-saturated nostalgia that feels like a warm, hazy memory of a lost era.

Find on Amazon

It's like a warm hug from a 1970s soul record that's been left in the sun too long.

A warm, nostalgic haze that feels like looking at old family photos through a soft-focus lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the drums on 'do you' feel like they are constantly about to trip over themselves but never lose the pocket.
The transition into 'amansloveislife_keepon' where the soul sample stretches into a warm, immersive loop that anchors the album's end.
The sudden, dry vocal interjection in 'watchwhoukallyourhomie' that cuts through the hazy production like a moment of clarity.
