This single is the sound of a city vibrating with nervous energy. It is defined by a surgical precision that was rare in the indie rock scene of the early 2000s. The guitars do not strum; they click, lock, and chime against one another like the internal gears of a watch. There is a coldness to the production that makes the human emotion behind the vocals feel more desperate and immediate. It sounds like the transition from the pub to the club, where the grit of the street meets the neon of the dancefloor.

The production is built around hand played than this artist usually allows.
