The music is constructed in a simple way, the instrumentation has a soft but heavy output, and it all comes down to the effective lyrics that allow you to focus on the words and ideas presented here. This is where you learn about the drive, emotions and backgrounds behind the song that led to the writing and recording a song.
The main melody or hook of the song has the euphoric intensity of a psychedelic-hip hop-metal track. The lyrics are kept to a minimum, and the hook is the main thing you take away from the whole thing – the simplicity is very effective. The backing track takes on an industrial-sounding tune, with some summer-time synth sounds stirring in, as things progress.
The way the music builds and intensifies is clever, it allows you to see the evolution through emotion and instrumentation, but it does so in a way that somehow maintains that initial feeling of euphoria, of serenity. It’s enjoyable throughout, and there is consistent change; there’s no point at which things get tiresome, but there’s also no point at which things veer off in too strange of a direction. The thickness of the beat and the beauty of that dominant riff are the thread throughout. The track allows you to be one with it, yet confidently carries you through those moments. It’s energy worth shouting about, and the upcoming single is definitely one to look forward to.
