RIOTS ON FASHION AVENUE

A concise masterclass in luxury-grime. Dusty soul loops and high-pitched street poetry that feels like a heist inside a high-fashion boutique.

A cold, calculated confidence that feels both luxurious and dangerous.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the 1964 version of Brains Flew By where the soul sample takes on a more haunting, vintage quality
The way the drums hit with a bone-dry snap on Don't Trust A Soul, cutting through the hazy atmosphere
The minimalist outro of No Face Dealer that leaves the listener suspended in a state of unresolved tension
