Finest Hour - Submotion Orchestra

i wasn’t feeling a full song-by-song breakdown for this one but as a lover of future noir, layered jazz compositions, soulful vocals, and dubstep, Finest Hour does have pretty much everything i could want.

i think i can probably credit this album for getting me into breakbeat, but the journey through bebop, neo soul, grime, reggae, trip hop, and electronic influences makes you feel like you’re taking an insomniac wander into the underbelly of a beast of a city. from alley to alley no one pays you any mind, you don’t speak to anyone, but eventually you find a rooftop to watch the sunrise from at the end of the night. 

there’s an undercurrent of longing that rises to the surface on the more melodic tracks like Angel Eyes, Hymn for Him, and All Yours, but the grimier Back Chat and Pop and Lock keep you from letting your guard down completely (not every neighbourhood is a “good” neighbourhood). i would kill to smoke a cigarette and listen to Pop and Lock while driving on a dark highway in August.

i feel like Finest Hour could have been perfectly at home in the soundtrack of Cowboy Bebop if the timing had worked out. i found it the year i moved back to the city and then almost forgot about it until i heard the All Yours sample on Bryson Tiller's Right My Wrongs back in 2021 (i know, i know i was VERY late to the game considering FH came out in 2011 and TRAPSOUL in 2015).
