sounds like a soundtrack, i.e. like something not designed to stand on its own

less weird than I wanted. much more ambitious lyrically and less ambitious and alien musically

second half is one of the strongest runs of 5 songs in all of music. "I saw your hair" stops my heart

Very simple - probably just one level above deadmau5 - but very moving.
