BoC albums are to electronic music what Nolan films are to cinema. Very excited and curious because this’ll set the tone for other music as well.
Based on the videos we’ve seen and this track list there should be book clubs exploring the themes of the album and adjacent texts and offering a place to heal in community from our societal and religious traumas.
