Fake Fruit “Well Song”

The guitar parts in “Well Song” are frazzled but not quite frantic, which is well suited to lyrics about feeling exhausted and uninspired. I like how in the verses the higher-pitched and faster guitar part on the left side of the stereo image seems like it’s in conversation with the descending lower-pitched part on the right side, which gives off a very “yeah, I guess, whatever” response. The higher notes here feel a little too bright, like fluorescent lights that give you a headache at an office job. The energy picks up towards the end, but only to resolve in screaming panic that comes across as a very temporary catharsis.
