Fragments

The vocal for “Tides” arrived by text. Jamila Woods messaged “I’ve done this vocal for you” and sent it there and then. It wasn’t even a demo, and that vocal is the one on the record.

Most of the album’s collaborations happened remotely. Deep house textures meet organic instruments and Ninja Tune’s downtempo warmth, with stuttering rhythms and sweeping melodies that suit a late night or an early sunrise.
