Demons', with its rapped-sung-spoken vocals from Beat Culture and Lena Kuhn, is an amazing, creepy-crawling yet sensuous track, bringing to mind 'Maxinquaye'-era Tricky yet with a 21st century electronic clarity to the microscopic detail of its off-kilter percussion that matches the best of Tree's production idol Flying Lotus. 'Rabbit Hole' is even more intense, an audio movie with its epic narrative unfolding through monumental bass tones, synth arpeggios that Rustie would be proud of, sweet orchestral melodies emerging through storms of sound, The audacious take on 'Karma Police' meanwhile, has Tree taking centre stage, his own distinctive singing and rap verses making Radiohead's original completely his own; the blurring of the lines between acoustic and electronic, intimate and monumental, fear and defiance on this simply stagger the senses.
