Balance and Composure
– The Things We Think We’re Missing
There’s a restless electricity running through The Things We Think We’re Missing. Every song feels like it’s trying to dig its way out of the body that made it, clawing at walls of guitars, slamming against rhythms that feel too heavy to contain. The music doesn’t just brood—it seethes.
Best of…
The vocals teeter between anguish and defiance, never quite settling, always on the edge of collapse. It’s not prettiness being chased here; it’s raw exposure. Even the quieter moments carry tension, like a string stretched past its limit. The record breathes uneasily, but that’s exactly where its strength lies.
What makes the album stand apart is its sheer physicality. You don’t listen so much as absorb it—chest rattled by low-end, mind clouded by thick chords, heart caught in the momentum of rhythms that refuse stillness. It’s catharsis through sheer volume and weight, but it lingers because of the humanity bleeding through the cracks.

Reflection
This one feels like a curtain being torn open. The guitars crash in waves, the voice desperate yet restrained, pulling the listener into the record’s storm without hesitation.
Tiny Raindrop
Gentler on the surface, but its softness masks a deep ache. The melody circles like a memory you can’t shake, carrying both fragility and inevitability.
I’m Swimming
Built on repetition and heaviness, it hits like a mantra shouted into the void. The atmosphere thickens as it goes, closing in until there’s no air left between the notes.
Lost Your Name
Urgent and sharp, this track claws forward with riffs that feel like teeth. The lyrics cut to the bone, but the delivery makes it sound less like confession and more like survival.
The Things We Think We’re Missing is a storm of tension and release, heavy with raw emotion and crushing sound. It thrives in its unease, pulling listeners into a space where vulnerability and sheer volume collide with unrelenting force.
