Release Format: CD/ Vinyl/Digital Download
“…Slowed-down hip-hop beats, crude electronics, nerve-jangling samples and bad-dream sounds.”
The Guardian
“Drag tracks are always beat-driven but molasses-paced— the bass is prominent, but drowsy and languid. Vocals are there, but no one’s singing upfront. (Typically, vocals are manipulated in some way and buried in the mix.) It’s not necessarily tech-y music— there’s a human quality to these songs but it’s ghostly and distorted, as if the tracks themselves are haunted. “
Pitchfork
