Bespoke

A whimsical collage of Victorian elegance and futuristic glitch. Soulful guest vocals meet rapid-fire micro-sampling in a warm, eccentric electronic embrace.

It's like a Victorian clockmaker decided to produce a hip-hop record using only magic and micro-chips.

A playful and eccentric exploration of texture that feels both antique and futuristic.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way Bilal's soulful croon is swallowed by a sea of liquid, wobbling bass on track one.

The transition into the woozy, nursery-rhyme psychedelia of Penny Loafers where Inara George's voice floats over brittle percussion.

Baths' haunting vocal delivery amidst the clatter of spooked steel drums and tabla on French Cuffs.
