I've always had a soft spot for trip hop, and this track just checks all the boxes for me. The groove feels slinky and slightly mysterious. The vocals are haunting and washed with a reverb that feels just a little bit lonely. It's a powerful sound that feels both relentless and spontaneous. In terms of lyrics, we explore the ubiquitous malaise of modern existence: that we are a species meant for wandering, largely contained to a single place. In a word, we are restless.

New Jersey’s entrancing singer-songwriter Long Beard teams up with fuzzyy, a new alias of versatile producer Brian Abelson. The result is a rhythmic and deeply mesmerizing study in how to merge late night trance vibes with organic drums and an understated vocal majesty. This luxurious trip hop track comes in it just under six minutes, and it does not disappoint.
