S. Raekwon - Part Towards Whole/A Crow's Smile:

Making for a wholly thrilling introduction to the artist behind them, lead track 'Parts Towards Whole' blends Steven's musical inspirations, which range from James Blake and Frank Ocean, to Grouper and Nicolas Jaar, to create a meditative reflection on sustaining a relationship; on 'the beauty and doubt at the heart of that feeling,' as Steven himself puts it. B-side 'A Crow's Smile' was directly inspired by Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore, which he read at the recommendation of a friend in order to help combat a crippling bout of insomnia and anxiety, and which pertinently shaped the songs final form.
