War Stories

UNKLE

A heavy, guitar-driven pivot into desert rock and noir-psych. Gritty live instrumentation replaces the sampler for a raw, cinematic, and brooding experience.

It's what happens when trip-hop goes to the desert and starts a fight with a rock band.

A relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness and cinematic dread.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive entry of the live drums and jagged guitar on Burn My Shadow.
The slow, psychedelic disintegration of the vocals during the climax of When Things Explode.
The relentless, motorik-style bassline that drives the tension in Chemistry.
