The british duo continue to mature with their electronic, experimental, erratic music. This album crosses paths with pop influence and crazy drones.

Hard rockin’, instrumental trio. (Bass, guitar, drums.) Some of the tunes are fun to rock out to, others feel like they might benefit from a singer.

Solo project from Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio. Draws from a wide range of rock, blues, and soul. Unfortunately, most songs aren’t FCC approved…but track 2 is worth playing.
