Sleeve M; Vinyl M. Protection, the Bristol collective’s second studio album, expands their trip-hop blueprint with emotional breadth and sonic diversity. Key tracks such as the sultry title track “Protection” (featuring Tracey Thorn), the eerie dub-funk of “Karmacoma” (with Tricky), and the hypnotic instrumental “Weather Storm” highlight their deft fusion of R&B, jazz-infused electronica, reggae, and cinematic ambience. A classic album and a Hair of the Dog Vinyl favourite!
