These 12 tracks are extremely minimal, with barebones strumming and hushed singing supporting by a few pattering rhythms, avant-garde synths and psychedelic production touches. There's a hint of buoyant brightness to the acoustic groove of "Beginning of the End," but the morbid lyrics set a dark mood that's typical of songwriter Matthew Swann.
Elsewhere, each line in "September" is punctuated with a disorienting blast of echo, while "Attention" trades out the usual synth abstractions for strings to create an ominous orchestral soundscape. Swann used to perform as Extra Happy Ghost!!!, and this album acts as a natural successor to 2011's Modern Horses.
