Dusty Rainbow From the Dark

Wax Tailor

A cinematic trip-hop fable woven from dusty vinyl samples, mid-century film dialogue, and lush orchestral arrangements. A nocturnal journey through sound and story.

September 10, 2012 · Believe Recordings

A whimsical yet noir-tinged journey that feels like a childhood memory being rediscovered in a dusty attic.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the introductory narration into the heavy, soul-drenched groove of the title track.
The way the orchestral strings swell and then abruptly cut to a dry, isolated drum break in 'Down in Flames'.
The haunting use of a child's voice narrating the 'Dusty Rainbow' fable between the more aggressive hip-hop segments.
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.
