Son Lux - At War With Walls and Mazes (2008)
This is the kind of album that you need to listen to before you'll know if you like it or not. It is beautiful piano mixed with hip-hop beats and electronica, supported by ethereal vocals. That description doesn't do the album justice so I suggest that you get it and give it a listen.
great album. haven't listened to this in a while, I think this constitutes a re-listen.
nice, non-sweetened vocals:
I can dig it in a low-lit cocktail atmosphere
nice album :D
gotta hand it to ya... you're right!
