The song leans more toward alternative riffing, with an upbeat, hooky bassline offsetting a blistering drum rhythm. Once the vocals come in, its general presentation emits a largely gothic feel. I appreciated the stripped-down nature of its halfway point, with the clean guitars from the intro lifted onto a standard drum and bass bed.
Later in the track, the overdriven and clean elements combine to create a whirlwind of sorts—a fuzz-laden shell tinged by brisk droplets. Instead, they compact into a haze, which is solidified by billowing, cloudlike guitars.
After a bit, a subtle change in the arrangement gives the guitars a newly nightmarish tone. The drums them stop on a dime to unveil a subsequent doom phase, bringing the tempo shift to a sinister crawl. Traces of growls are registered as part of a larger soundscape, insinuating a beast is stationary, preparing to wreak havoc. The instrumentation seems to be lulled, backward guitars humming on tempo against waves of feedback.
Both the riffs and drums increase in definition by the midpoint, channeling tones of grunge and rock solid lead melodies. Additional sounds enhance the feeling of impact, gradually shifting from bright and melodic to sharp and dissonant.
The rainy percussion creates subtle space within the track as it transitions into the verses. Two distinct components struck me about the mix.
Coincidentally, I had listened to a plane fly by as I played the song; nuances from both the plane and the white noise were felt equally. Eventually, the white noise triumphs as the dominant element, possibly having finally signaled an escape route. The shoegaze element makes a welcome return, guitars bending against a reverberated waltz of fluttering leads.
