Under the Thousand Yard Stare banner, the duo Thun-N-Tyrone joins forces again with Akkie Records in-house producer PSIX, a Nijmegen-based beatmaker who has been cutting up samples for hip-hop since the early '90s. Last Breath Of Air leans into thick percussion, murky atmosphere and no-frills lyricism, staying true to the raw, uncompromising sound the label has built its catalog around. The record's title and cover nod straight at the thousand-yard-stare imagery of shellshock and survival, fitting the record's grim, wartorn tone.
