Pure momentum. "There Are Spiders In My Dreams" pulled me in before the 10-second mark. Poems For Dead People and Intertitle deliver a dark electronic track that wastes no time setting an anxious mood.
A propulsive bass guitar takes the melodic lead here, anchoring the rhythm. It drives the arrangement forward alongside dense, analog-inspired synthesizers. The electric guitar layers a cold, shimmering chorus effect that feels pure post-punk. The artists noted, "This track grew out of a mutual interest in repetition as a storytelling device." It works. The structure is non-conventional, building a heavy sense of isolation and memory.
The low, spoken-word baritone register carries a dry, whispered intimacy that cuts straight through the heavy instrumentation. A sudden transition at the end strips the driving mix away entirely for a stark, isolated delivery. The final quiet seconds left me standing frozen. Cold.
