Opening with eerie dystopian samples that add to the overall atmosphere of the song itself, the track sets an unsettling and firey build-up before detonating into a maelstrom of sizzling guitar riffs. With a stompy, crunchy verse that dynamically grows into the chorus, and a bridge that feels like an earthquake gives you the result of a pulse-pounding soundscape that demands your attention and refuses to let go. This track feels like a mix of Sonic Youth and Fugazi with very distinctive grungey vocals overlaying it all.
“We’ve been feeling the world’s chaos on a personal level,” the band shares, “and 'Pitch Shifter' became our outlet. It’s cathartic for us on stage, and we hope listeners feel the same release.” That sentiment rings true—this track is as much about connecting through shared turbulence as it is about shaking the walls with its sheer intensity.
