"Eavesdrop In The Dark" is the standout, dripping with this creeping, voyeuristic energy that makes you hold your breath. "Legion" opens things with weight, like walking into a room where everyone already knows something you don't.
"That Scent" has a strange sensory quality to it, atmospheric and lingering. And "The Lucky Few" appears twice on the tracklist, which feels deliberate rather than accidental. "No Easy Task" closes things out with a sense of exhaustion and resolve.
The whole album sits in this uncomfortable dinner-party headspace where something is always slightly off. Perfect background for when you want to feel uneasy without knowing exactly why.
