This song has very heavy tension and release, in the beginning of the song there are disoriented keyboard plucks which instantly throws the listener off and builds tension. It then gets silent and goes into an off beat sounding guitar and follows up slow and small drum roll to keep you wondering what is coming to build even more tension and then BOOM, a lovely drop.
there’s not much tension through the rest of the song but there is one part where the drums stop and they start to build tension through an oscillator on the vocals, pitching it up RANDOMLY and then slowly pitching it down and hitting a few crashes.
tension and release methods – drum rolls, silence, and pitch.
