Add to this Ben Shemie's breathy, paranoid sing/speak, and there are times that it seems like Suuns are about to drive over a sonic cliff. But there's actually a great sense of restraint at play. We were enveloped in Suuns' dark and thrilling post-punk from the first listen, never to return.

The singer seems to be seeking intimacy with another person, expressing a desire to touch and hold them. But there is also a sense of hesitation or resistance - "Maybe I don't wanna listen" - as if they are holding back or uncertain about giving themselves fully to the other person.
