The track is taken from the forthcoming full-length album Gotham Fortress to be released on 9/17 via Blackhouse Records (Ras Kass, Prison Religion). Mostly produced by beat-maker/musician Wolftone, the album is a dizzying display of dark toned soundscapes that seem to bear influence between trap, witch house and goth sources. Suede’s smoke filled voice cavity delivers both self-knowledge and somber atmospherics throughout.
Speaking on the results Suede said “initially I was coming to Seattle for a few weeks to work on some tracks. Instead I ended up crashing on Wolftone’s couch for five months. He lives in this punk house they call the Fortress that throws basement shows constantly. It was a great energy and we would feed off each other instead of working on our parts separately. As a hip-hop listener I am into bodies of work instead of singles and we worked on capturing that flow through the album".
