A jagged, desperate sense of urgency cuts through these recordings, processing unthinkable grief through a massive wall of high-decibel sound. The music trades the playful dance-rock of the recent past for a thick, textured guitar landscape that occasionally veers into shimmering dream-pop territories, offering a soft landing for heavy lyrical themes.
It is an intimate, vulnerable conversation happening in a public square, driven by a profound sense of physical weight in the drum performances that serves as a visceral reminder of what was lost.
