Psyence Fiction

A sprawling, cinematic collision of DJ Shadow's dusty breakbeats and high-drama vocal turns from Britpop and alt-rock royalty. Dark, urban, and monolithic.

It's like DJ Shadow and Radiohead made a soundtrack for a movie that takes place entirely at 3 AM in the rain.

A heavy, cinematic sense of urban isolation and existential longing wrapped in dusty breakbeats.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive entry of the string section on 'Lonely Soul' that elevates the track into a tragic rock anthem.

The way Thom Yorke's voice dissolves into a haunting piano loop during the climax of 'Rabbit in Your Headlights'.

The aggressive, double-time drum break that kicks in halfway through 'Guns Blazing'.
