Skee Mask & North Americans * Final Circle LP [Red]

A collaboration few would have predicted, and one that makes perfect sense once you hear it. Munich producer Skee Mask (Bryan Müller) has spent over a decade turning hazy, atmospheric techno, breakbeat, dub and jungle into some of electronic music's most acclaimed records, from 2018's Compro to 2024'sResort. North Americans, the ambient country-folk project of guitarist PatrickMcDermott, brings a completely different palette of slow-unspooling drones. Final Circle finds these two worlds colliding, pairing rhythmic electronic detail with the wide-open, meditative textures both artists are known for.
