Usually when I don’t really understand the technical side of a track (which is to say whenever I listen to anything, ever) I can still point to a few musical touchstones to draw reference to. Not here though. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve failed to procure a coffee this morning or I just don’t have it within my vocabulary to explain just what this reminds me of / sounds like. Dancing about architure, and all that. The one thing I know is that for five and a half minutes this track doesn’t stop pulsing with energy. It isn’t surprising that the wave form looks like a slug because there’s no point at which those questing synths die down. Except, you know, the end of the song. The drum line is as unrelenting as the synth and helps retain intensity across the length of the record while the vocals frame questions above it all. Big tune.
