Thievery Corporation are back with fresh sounds and tings. Temple Of I & I marks the DC duo's 10th full length album, and a return to their roots. Rob Garza and Eric Hilton headed to Port Antonia Jamaica to record, and it shows with the majority of tracks steeped in heavy reggae and dub vibes. Their signature blend of hip-hop, funk, lounge, and world styles is still present as well, and everything flows together perfectly in classic Thievery Corporation fashion. Check the sound on "Letter To The Editor" with Raquel Jones, "Ghetto Matrix" with Mr. Lif, "Let The Chalice Blaze," "Strike The Root" with Notch, and more. 15 tracks in all housed in gatefold sleeve with printed inserts, double sided fold-out poster, and digital download included.
