Music by Cavelight

Seventy minutes of dusty, cinematic hip-hop beats. A masterfully sampled love letter to the lonely, rain-slicked streets of New York City after midnight.

The ultimate soundtrack for when you're the only person awake in the city and everything feels like a movie.

A heavy, rain-slicked urban melancholy that finds beauty in the loneliness of the city at night.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The way the mournful violin on Sunday Seance cuts through the heavy, rhythmic thud of the kick drum.

The transition between the three Triptych parts where the mood shifts from tension to a hazy, melodic release.

The haunting vocal sample in You've Got Maelstrom that perfectly captures the feeling of impending, nameless dread.
