Anguish is a noisy track for a noisy urban world with incursions of a repetitive guitar pattern expressing the unquiet and partially conscious desire of something else. Among other sounds, is the dark deep bass drum pulse an image of the city’s pulse ? Or of the imaginary traveller’s life, or the listener’s heartbeat itself ? And does all these noises reveal a friendly world ?
