    In-between the chaos and peace, 'Drukqs' induces a whole host of emotions using acid squiggles, plucked piano strings and 80s electro-breaks.

    What's lacking, though, is context.
  3. Rolling Stone

    His most irrelevant album to date: a double CD, thirty-track compendium of indecipherable song titles, gratuitously weird sounds and occasional wisps of ersatz classical piano that are aimlessly pretty.

    If you are interested in hearing an album that trancends classification, destroys expectations and simply delights, you must listen to Druqks.
