“Ricochet” Confirms That The Endeavor Was A Success As Sharp Jabby Guitars Slice Through The Song’s Surface Synths Eventually Spilling Together Into A Puddle Of Cathartic Noise. It’s The Perfect Sound To Match Singer Matthew Flegel’s Dour Words Which Are Built Around The Refrain “Everything Tastes Like The Bitter End.” In A Statement Flegel Shared “The Lyrics Are Pretty Conspicuous And Self-Explanatory On This One But It’s Basically About The World Blowing Up And No One Giving A Shit.”
