    This is a solid portrayal of urban life in the UK at the start of the 2010's. Musically lifeless but I mean this in a stylistic sense with every aspect of the sound there very much on purpose. Lyrically, it is hard to follow or delve into properly such is the style of delivery. It's a good listen but Ghostpoet's later stuff, particularly 2015's "Shedding Skin" is more to my taste.

    Peanut Butter ... might be just a little too left-field to capture the zeitgeist in the same way that Skinner did a decade previously, but it's a hypnotic and ultimately rewarding debut which, along with recent efforts from James Blake and Jamie Woon, proves that the words chill-out and challenging don't have to be mutually exclusive.

    He has created a haunting, unique, and well-realized artistic statement that is the perfect soundtrack for the early hours of the morning.

    It's an uplifting end to one of the best albums of 2011, one that marks Ghostpoet as a name to keep a very close eye on.
