The EP showcases innovative songwriting and complex arrangements, though its chaotic nature may limit broader appeal.

What we noticed

  • The first track opens with a dissonant guitar riff that sets a chaotic tone, which is maintained throughout the EP with abrupt tempo changes.
  • Several tracks feature unconventional song structures, often shifting between multiple sections without clear verses or choruses.
  • The use of layered vocals creates a dense texture, particularly in the chorus of 'Fire', where harmonies clash against the instrumentation.
