Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

What we noticed
- The album opens with a pulsing electronic beat in 'Traffic' that sets a disorienting tone, which is maintained throughout the tracks.
- Vocals are often layered and manipulated, creating a haunting effect that complements the glitchy instrumentation.
- Several tracks, such as 'Dawn Chorus' and 'Runwayaway', feature gradual build-ups and atmospheric soundscapes that evolve over their duration.
