Type: Album Genre(s): Industrial Hip Hop, Hardcore Hip Hop, Experimental Hip Hop From: USA, California, Sacramento Release: April 24, 2012 Producer(s): Andy Morin & Zach Hill This album acts as a portal to peer into an unhinged psyche.

Type: Album Genre(s): Electronic, Minimal Synth From: England, London Release: December 25, 2010 Producer(s): Gorillaz & Stephen Sedgwick Although this is known to be the least appreciated point in the band’s discography, it’s definitely worth the chance.

Type: Album Genre(s): Dream Pop From: USA Maryland, Baltimore Release: August 28, 2015 Producer(s): Beach House & Chris Coady Beach House crafted quite a wondrous record with this one. The overall feel of the synth work is heartwarming albeit palpably downcast.
