Concave Reflection, Kindtree, and Millia formed the trio Purelink in 2020 to create music they couldn’t make alone. Blending ambient dub techno with glitchy textures, subtle beats, and dreamy atmospheres, their sound is slow, hypnotic, and immersive. Their latest album titled Faith deepens this style, mixing acoustic tones, brittle drum ‘n’ bass rhythms, and poetic vocals into a lush, drifting soundscape made for quiet introspection.
