Notes: Features swirling Moog synths, weird noises, and odd melodies layered over live guitar and drums, with Beth Gibbons' vocals processed through a Leslie speaker for a disorienting, tripped-out effect. Creeping mid-slow tempo with dissonant, spidery bluesy elements creates a foggy, immersive soundscape.
