"Fight fire with fire / Pour gasoline / Burn tires alight / blockade the street..."
I love blistering pace of this track as churning guitars get loud and soft while the splashing drum beat and bass sounds are absolute unrelenting. The vocals, passionate but aloof, sings about our endless media paranoia. How our ever present smart phones serve as anxiety barometers: “Doom Scrolling Web MD, Surge, Russia, and WMD’s”. The self aware icy cool vox and insanely unstoppable barrage made me think of an amalgam of artists like The Drums and KennyHoopla. At one point, the lead vox exclaim "Facebook's down tonight" as if the narrator needs a respite away from a hand held anxiety amplifier, a constant window to governmental corruption, the latest disease, and a madmen inflicting needless pain and suffering.
