Penthouse

Twenty-one vignettes of dusty jazz loops and heavy tape hiss. A masterclass in urban solitude that feels like a rainy night in a high-rise apartment.

It's like a black-and-white movie for your ears, perfect for when you want the world to just shut up for a bit.

A sophisticated yet lonely urban lullaby wrapped in thick layers of analog hiss.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the muffled city traffic in the Citydrive skit into the crisp, jazz-inflected drum loop of Again.

The way the rain field recordings on Rain Outside blend seamlessly into the crackling vinyl texture of the beat.

The unexpected bossa nova influence on Penthouse in Rio that momentarily shifts the urban gloom into something warmer.
