You can hear the music shifting in the direction of Yasmine's solo work. Probably the most sophisticated release from Soapkills with a few reworked songs.

An impressively layered and jazzy trip-hop album considering it's humble means. Zeid's flute adds a lot to the songs.

A solid step forward in trip-hop musicality. A little less jazzy than their debut, but still the strongest album from Soapkills for me. Smmmoooooth. I could listen to this forever.
