Stillhead

UK first press 2016. Record plays well with minor marks.
This is the real Iceberg. Alex Cowles stepping out from his DFRNT days and properly levelling up. Dub soaked downtempo, icy atmospheres, rich textures and immaculate production, but crucially with actual songs at the centre of it. Guest vocals bring warmth without tipping it into background mush, and everything feels carefully placed rather than just floated in. It’s winter music that somehow feels comforting rather than cold. Deep, patient, and very easy to sink into. A proper sleeper and honestly feels like one of those records people only clock years later. Class. FFO Trentemøller, Lulu Rouge, Zero 7, Deadbeat, early Bonobo
