The King of Limbs
An intricate, nature-obsessed puzzle of polyrhythms and loops that dissolves into some of the band's most beautiful, ambient-leaning piano ballads.

Rhythmic detour
A dense, murky undergrowth of chopped-up loops and skittering percussion defines this rhythm-heavy collection. The kinetic, restless energy of the opening tracks eventually clears to reveal a weightless, serene calm, trading electronic clutter for warm acoustic guitars and delicate piano chords.
The band trades their usual urban alienation for a damp, mossy forest atmosphere, plunging the listener into a mysterious and deeply insular woodland thicket.
While critics warmly received the album's intricate electronic loops and rhythm-driven textures, some felt the brief running time lacked the melodic depth of the band's previous work. This split left the reception somewhat divided, with reviewers balancing an appreciation for the experimental atmosphere against a desire for more robust songwriting.
