Filling Up the City Skies

Pretty Lights

A sprawling double album of soul-drenched trip-hop. Dusty vinyl samples meet crisp glitch percussion to create the ultimate late-night urban soundtrack.

It's like your favorite old soul records got remixed by a robot who's having a very chill night in the city.

A nostalgic and soulful urban sprawl that balances late-night introspection with rhythmic confidence.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, brassy soul sample that anchors the opening of Change Is Gonna Come.
The way the glitchy percussion stutter-steps against the smooth vocal loop in Hot Like Sauce.
The sprawling, ten-minute atmospheric descent of Take the Sun Away.
