The Obia EP

Tricky

Seven tracks of skeletal, smoke-stained trip-hop. A claustrophobic collection of urban sketches that prioritizes texture and tension over traditional melody.

It's like eavesdropping on a ghost in a rain-soaked alleyway.

A persistent, low-level paranoia that feels both claustrophobic and strangely intimate.

The production is pushed notably harder into lo fi than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the percussion on Damballah feels like it's stumbling over itself in a dark room.
The jarring, metallic synth line that pierces through the murky bass on Tin Man.
The haunting, disconnected vocal interplay on Nenaviju Izmenu that sounds like a overheard argument through a thin wall.
