Why it's here

Batu translates Timedance's dubby, low-slung UK-bass aesthetic into a cohesive full-length on Opal. Eleven tracks in thirty-six minutes, four of them under three, so nothing is given room to become a statement. The production is textured and controlled. Pacing and pressure define the debut more than spectacle.
