"Automatonic Electronic Harmonics" has this vaudeville swing that sounds like a player piano gained sentience. "Electricity Is In My Soul" is a straight-up banger with vocal harmonies that hit different when you're planning a tactical boarding action.
"Honeybee" slows things down into something surprisingly tender, robots singing about feelings over acoustic guitar. The whole album leans into this theatrical, barbershop-meets-folk energy that shouldn't work for a tactical shooter but absolutely does.
