Brown Sugar
1995 · EMI
Ranked No. 1 in Neo-Soul
The record that announced the whole project: a Rhodes, a hip-hop drum feel and a vocal arrangement borrowed from Marvin Gaye. Nothing on radio in 1995 sounded this unhurried.

Untitled (How Does It Feel)
2000 · Virgin
Ranked No. 2 in Neo-Soul
Seven minutes that dismantle the idea of a single. The band play so far behind the beat that the track feels like it might stop, and the video obscured how extraordinary the arrangement is.

Untitled (How Does It Feel)
2000 · Virgin
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
Seven minutes played so far behind the beat that the track feels like it might stop. A masterclass in how much tension a band can hold by simply not hurrying.
Brown Sugar
1995 · EMI
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
A Rhodes, a hip-hop drum feel and a vocal arrangement borrowed from Marvin Gaye. Nothing on radio in 1995 sounded this unhurried, and a movement followed it.

Untitled (How Does It Feel)
2000 · Virgin
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Soulquarians Room
The band play so far behind the beat that it feels like a dare. Most of that feel is four people refusing to hurry each other rather than anything that was ever written down.
