The combination of baritone guitar and electric bass creates a broiling, frothing layer that underpins the arrangements throughout. Bass tones aren’t so much foregrounded, it’s their constancy, the way this thick colouring thumbs one’s attention whether curling up around the stark acoustic introduction to ‘The Augur’, or napalming the speakers on ‘Cold Facts’ (It’s an amusing irony that a song called ‘Cold Facts’ should sound so hellishly hot. ‘Cold Facts’ sounds like timber cracking in a burning treeline.)
