Artsy post hip-hop from this Vancouver based trio. Interesting collage of sounds, beats and instruments as well as a variety of different song styles ranging from slow and brooding to pretty funky. Sparse in vocals with some snippets of political commentary about Chinese immigrants in Canada and Malcolm X speeches. Similar to DJ Shadow, Kid Koala
