A bruising, dynamic vulnerability replaces the solitary focus of the debut as a newly assembled band unit navigates the fallout of personal collapse. Working with producer Gil Norton, the group structures the tracklist to mimic the emotional peaks and valleys of a therapy session, alternating between furious, screaming rock and quiet, introspective ballads. The resulting sound is thick, saturated, and heavy, utilizing a whisper-to-a-scream dynamic that gives the massive guitar walls a physical, cathartic weight.
