The Other Side of Make‐Believe
A quieter, more contemplative chapter of post-punk. Muted piano chords and interlocking guitars create a warm, late-night fog of melancholia.

Quiet consolidation
Muted piano chords and interlocking guitars drift through a warm, late-night fog. You are left floating in a quieter, contemplative space where the band's sharp edges dissolve into soft, melancholic shadows.
The arrangements are thoroughly soaked in a rainy day atmosphere, wrapping the listener in a cinematic, gray-skied serenity that feels both intimate and beautifully weathered.
The album was warmly received by critics who admired its elegant, contemplative mood and the subtle optimism that softened the band's signature gloom. While many praised the understated, piano-driven arrangements, some reviewers felt the quiet, mid-tempo pacing occasionally lacked momentum and made certain tracks feel less memorable.
