Dial ‘M’ for Monkey

Dusty vinyl crackle meets live instrumentation. A masterclass in 2000s downtempo that feels like a sepia-toned memory of a city at dusk.

The ultimate soundtrack for when you want to feel like the protagonist of a moody indie film set in a rainy city.

A warm, sepia-toned collection of grooves that feels like a quiet conversation in a room full of memories.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The haunting flute melody that drifts over the shuffling beat in Noctuary.

The desperate, repeated vocal hook of Pick Up cutting through a thick bassline.

The way Nothing Owed builds into a cinematic, string-laden crescendo.
