Survival of the Fattest

Sun-drenched rocksteady and dub recorded through vintage 1970s gear. Heavy bass, warm tape saturation, and a permanent summer afternoon feeling.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden cavernous reverb splash that swallows the snare drum during the bridge of Milk and Honey.

That impossibly deep, rounded bass line on Fat Panther that feels like it's vibrating the floorboards.

The way the vocal harmonies on Big Man Cry melt into the analog hiss of the tape.

The transition into the dub version of Milk and Honey where the vocals fragment into rhythmic echoes.
