Notes: Begins with a heavily charged post-rock roar that builds dynamically before falling into lilting, forlorn noodling, featuring machine gun snare hits and a return to intense attack in its eight-minute-plus runtime. The layered guitar textures and crescendos create an immersive, emotional soundscape with significant volume shifts.
