Watchers
Launching with a staunch backbeat that conjures images of windy chaos, Watchers ascends and descends upon concentric spirals of guitar noodling and ray gun blasts at the third eye. Defiant and seeming to arrive back to the present from a distant, post-dystopia beyond good and evil, the song’s lyrics challenge the paltry human frameworks of time and language, preferring the fluid and detached vantage point of the ultimate observer. All in all, “Watchers” is a rare earworm that immediately gratifies, maintaining a kind of delirious and taut tension throughout, but also reveals rewarding new textures and details upon each listen.
