The Absurd EP

Gritty trip-hop beats collide with progressive rock scale. A tense, four-track exploration of urban isolation and biting social frustration.

It's like Portishead got into a fight with Pink Floyd in a dark alley.

A relentless, urban tension that balances cold electronic precision with raw human frustration.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, hypnotic ten-minute groove of Junkie Shuffle that feels like a descent into a trance.
The sudden shift from melodic melancholy to biting aggression in the vocal delivery of Men Like You.
The way the electronic textures swell and distort during the climax of Absurd.
