of course another valid criticism that can be directed against this stuff is that it has no hooks of any kind. its pure initiates music, the anal retentivism of dub taken to its logical stream. does not grab you by the throat like UK drill does.
but then, UK drill would be the best form of music of the 2010s if if a lot of it wasn't bogged under the weight of faux-gloomy pianos. a case of sacrifising longevity for immediate gothic accessibility.
UK drill is best when it is achingly soul-operatic. that cold loneliness within *the crowd* this ain't no hauntology bruv. cold streets. london is not really a gothic city in the 2010s. it's just empty. full of ghosts.
