Gears & Rust is the story of a transformation — both sonically and spiritually. The debut album from Leeds-based producer and songwriter S.O.B.A starts in serenity and ends in fire, guiding listeners through a journey of clarity, conflict, and catharsis.

The first half breathes with liquid drum & bass textures, soft harmonies, mellow rap verses, and atmospheric storytelling. Tracks like “Old Pine Woods” and “Southern Moon” feel like morning mist and memory — warm, reflective, and rooted in nature and nostalgia. Here, the lyrics float between moments of love, recovery, and inner peace, woven through vinyl crackle, field recordings, and emotive melodies.

But as the album progresses, the tone shifts. “Babylon Tricks” signals a pivot: the drums hit harder, the message grows sharper, and S.O.B.A’s pen turns militant. From there, Gears & Rust descends into the rave — fusing jump-up chaos, dubstep growls, and layered wordplay that explores addiction, resistance, ambition, and rage. Tracks like “WorkRate” and “Melter Mode” are aggressive and raw — rave weapons with hidden messages coded in rhyme, distorted basslines, and second-drop switch-ups designed to shock and awaken.

By the time the title track “Gears & Rust” lands, the contrast is clear: this album isn’t just about sound — it’s about survival. The gears keep turning, even when the body feels rusted. The soul fights on, even when scarred.

From dusk-lit riversides to smoke-filled basements, Gears & Rust is a sonic diary of a man rebuilding himself — one beat, one bar, one breath at a time.
