Protection
A masterpiece of late-night urban melancholy, blending smoky jazz piano, heavy dub basslines, and intimate, whispered vocals into a warm, cinematic haze.

Quiet consolidation
Rain-slicked asphalt and the low hum of a refrigerator frame this late-night drift, where heavy dub basslines anchor a fragile, smoky haze. Rather than replicating the raw heat of their debut, these tracks settle into a cooler, more spacious architecture of whispered vocals and cinematic piano. You are left wandering through a quiet, shadowed city, wrapped in a protective layer of sound that feels both comforting and deeply melancholic.
Intimate, breathy vocals drift through the mix with unprecedented softness, trading the raw energy of street-level delivery for whispered confessions that feel close enough to touch.
Critics widely praised Protection for its lush, nocturnal production and atmospheric warmth, highlighting the serene contributions of its guest vocalists. While the album was broadly admired for its rich dub textures, some reviewers felt that a few tracks toward the end lacked the cohesiveness of its strongest moments.
