notes
A 2 saw -1 synth bass carries the low end, low-pass filtered at 12 dB/oct, cutoff around 5694 Hz with modest resonance, sitting mono and tight against the drum machine to anchor the track. Fits the band's DIY, four-track-recorded debut era, all cold single-oscillator tones and tape-loop rhythm.
