Alibis sounds like the sophisticated evolution of a sound that once defined an era.

It trades the dusty, sampled grit of the 90s for a surgical, high-definition clarity that feels both modern and timeless. The track is built on a foundation of precise, clicking percussion and deep, undulating basslines that provide a steady pulse for the atmospheric synth work to swirl around. It is the sound of a city at night, but viewed through the lens of a high-resolution camera rather than a grainy VHS tape.

Moments Worth Listening For
The precise, mechanical click of the percussion that feels like a ticking clock against the lush synth pads.
The moment the male and female vocals intertwine in a hushed, conspiratorial harmony during the chorus.
The subtle, distorted guitar swell that emerges briefly in the bridge, adding a layer of grit to the polished surface.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
