No rushing. These stay at the weight you're already at.
Hypnotic, bass-saturated rage-rap; Carti's baby-voice ad-libs and Travis's chanted hook loop like a panic attack in a stadium — oppressive, repetitive, deliberately unmoored.
Hazy, sample-heavy backdrop with Jessica Pratt's ghostly folk vocals floating over A$AP Rocky's muttered, paranoid flow — feels like a late-night drive through fog, beautiful and unsettling in equal measure.
Swamp-rock hypnotic groove with Fogerty's snarling vocal and that iconic descending guitar riff — relentless, humid, and simmering with unspoken tension.
A clattering, cabaret-noir stomper driven by marimba and gravelly vocals, perfect for bridging ragged blues and eccentric art-rock.
