Winter arisen in a cold crisp lick; flicker in the wind and listen.
Quick Q&A:
There are no synths; only an array of f/x pedals that could choke Cloverfield, some VST post-processing, and attempting to do worthy justice to a St. Vincent Sterling STV60 six string.
Yes, the premise is akin to that employed by Tin Machine: "Fuck the drummer, let her figure out what time signature we're in."
The intro, pt.2, and outro -- seemingly synths - are guitar passed through an ineffable array of pedals by #Hologram, #RedPanda, #EarthquakerDevices, #Mooer, #JHSPedals, #Industrialectric, #Caroline, #Wampler, #Meris, et al.
The drums are the same used by Devin Townsend for his "Ziltoid the Omniscient" album.
This began as a guitar practice session attempting to play "One of These Days I'm Going to Cut You into Little Pieces" then "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" that failed miserably, then a break was taken to listen to "Swim to the Moon" by Between the Buried and Me, after which the band returned to the studio re-energized and totally twisted the original intent into this offering. (You can still hear some of the "Careful" bits in pt. III.)
