On their album "See the Sound", the New York quintet brings an atmospheric mix of hiphop, triphop, drum & bass, lounge and jazz. The opening song, "Purest One" effortlessly combines D&B with a drummed hiphop beat and violins. And it is just these surprising combinations which recur. "Danger" catapults you with its warm intro and sax solo from 2-step to regular" pop music, while the instrumental "All I Need" maintains the tension thanks to its strange samples and depth. "See the Sound" is atmospheric and gripping right across the boards, but really comes into its own in the beautifully babbling 'Portrait', a fragile pearl which displays Lissette Alea's flexible vocal chords to their fullest.
