Notes: Immersive wall of distorted guitars and tremolo effects create a woozy, otherworldly haze with smeared multitracked vocals that evoke stoned euphoria amid aggressive sonic stress. The production blends consonant melodies with blown-out noise and feedback for a hazily entrancing yet fearsome density.
