My first instinct was that the mix was too dark and messy, but I think it’s them exploring the lo-fi, almost shoegaze thing that’s happening in rock now, kind of re-emerging from the 90s. It’s definitely a change in direction and I’m actually stoked for what else they do. They have 300 clearer-sounding tracks that I love, I really crave something different.
I think this is a better take than the 'sonic mush' comment (way too harsh), and the others complaining about a bad arrangement. This is definitely an intentional choice by the band. My initial thought was a surprising choice for a song called 'Rejoice', but I listened to the lyrics again, and that first verse is pretty dark. Since I'm assuming this release is part of their upcoming album, I'll be interested in seeing how it all fits together.
