A dark‑hued, cinematic fusion of alternative rock, trip‑hop, dub and turntablist textures, Against finds Franky B & The Cryptic Monkeys crafting a moody, bass‑driven soundworld rooted in Italian underground culture. This 2015 LP on Black Marigolds Recordings blends live instrumentation, smoky vocals and analogue synth grit, with guest appearances from Fade, Shaone, Marcello Coleman, Helen Tesfazghi, Ka Li and Ntò. A deep, atmospheric record that moves between shadowy grooves and widescreen electronic tension.
