about

This album was primarily composed during my first 12 months living in London. I spent a lot of time on tubes, trains and buses, walking and cycling, listening to Jungle, Dubstep, Grime and UK Drill.

I left my guitar, drum sequencer and keyboards scattered across New Zealand, so this is the first 'body of work' I've produced entirely on a computer. It took a long time to get used to the different workflow and I spent months tweaking these tunes until I realised I just needed to move the files off my computer and decided the album was done. Several tracks were cut but will appear on other releases.

During the time I made this record there were several terror attacks in London and elsewhere in the UK. There were citizens being deported after spending their entire lives working here. There were lengthy discussions about how the country which colonised the planet was deciding to close its borders. There was a densely populated tower block which burned down in the wealthiest borough in the country. There were thousands of luxury appartments being built in a country where over 400 rough sleepers died in 12 months - some on the doorstep of parliament. There was a lot of fucked up shit going down and I was sitting in an uncomfortable chair, somewhere in east London, chopping up drum breaks on my laptop.

UKVI contains samples of 'They Live' by Yvnalesca, released via KCB (RIP) in 2013.

All tracks mastered by the GOAT of NZ music, Reuben Winter.

I typically write bull shit reviews because who reads these. but this album is such a fucking solid pop punk hard core everything. you can really hear some of rubans ideas in his future releases get more psychedelic with the self titled really hits from those spacey phrases in-between songs. fuckin genius. rest in peace <3 KENNY CHARLTON!

I can't even begin to say how much you have influenced and inspired me to be a musician. Waiting for a new Totems release and the joy of finally hearing his amazing explorations of sound was/ always will be some of my most inspirational and cherished memories I have with music. You introduced me to so many sides of music and all I can say is thank you so much for every second of it. I never got to fully meet you, but I really wish I did. So much love and respect to you up there bro. ❤️❤️ morningside selecta

This was the first album I ever listened to as a teenager, and it remains as impressive as I remember it being. I really can't recommend it enough, especially if you're into experimental spacey jazzy hip hop. asherarataki
