Brits start things at the ending and make it back around through focused
musical maneuvers and Jack Barnett's cryptic lyrical shards. Words and sounds
play out twin themes of numerology and repetition, with Barnett's intense
delivery leading the charge over evolving post-punk landscapes where no drum is

and paranoia endure in songs "Elvis" and "£4" before things
smooth over, eventually fading into mystery.
