Notes: Features a mix of slow-burning atmospheres, glitchy electronics, and propulsive rockers with reverb-heavy production and shifting dynamics from somber piano-led introspection to anthemic peaks. Textural depth from synthesizers, strings, and guitar effects creates an immersive but occasionally restless listening experience.
