Aiming to emulate the DIY, analogue sounds of British funk, the duo adopted a “more naive, less considered” approach to production.
“The idea of the project was to capture that raw, moment-to-moment sound,” Maunick explains.
The album follows the duo’s release of their ‘Aspects’ 12”, which was also released on Brownswood.
