This Material Moment by Me Lost Me

Our view from the ground doesn’t look particularly rosy right now, with a soft singularity of war, automation, and famine nearing its inflection point. This Material Moment by Me Lost Me climbs desperately for a higher vantage point, begging the world for any sign of hope on the horizon. An experimental pop aesthetic informs the vocal processing and delivery, with soaring melodies firmly centered in every composition. However, an experimental edge built on dark folk harmonies and freely associated lyrics pulls the record back from its more straightforward tendencies, introducing the darkness from which our speaker longs for escape. Consistently ambiguous tones and eerie imagery cast doubt on the success of this mission, setting us up for the crushing disappointment of a hopeless vista, but still we climb, if for no other reason than a chance at fresher air near the lid of this stifling tinder box.
