notes
Short synth stabs punctuate the chorus, matching the track's title with a bit of extra bite. Gear approximated from CHVRCHES' documented Bones/Every Open Eye-era rig: Iain Cook and Martin Doherty built early records mostly ITB (Native Instruments Massive/FM8, Arturia) layered with a Roland Juno-60, Nord Lead 2X and Korg MS-20 for hands-on hardware parts.
