Culture of Fear

Thievery Corporation

Deep dub basslines meet paranoid political themes. A nocturnal blend of space-rock guitars and smoky trip-hop beats for the modern surveillance age.

It's like a spy movie soundtrack if the spy was a dub producer with a political agenda.

A tense, nocturnal blend of political paranoia and lush, cosmic escapism.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, ominous bass drop on the title track paired with Mr. Lif's urgent delivery.
The sprawling, nearly eight-minute instrumental odyssey of Tower Seven with its cosmic synth swells.
The sudden shift into traditional dub territory on False Flag Dub where the drums dissolve into echoes.
