There's a subdued, sinister, wandering feel to the opening of this track; it doesn't seem to fit a meter that you can really count out, which adds to its air of shrouded mystery. So it's a really cool moment when the drums come in to reveal how everything fits in 4/4 time, like the track is pulling back the curtain to reveal its illusion. The whole track seems to fill with colour and light, and you're left to look around in wonder at how each layer interacts with each other melodically and rhythmically. Even then, it doesn't answer everything-- even as 2:20 revisits the musical figure at 0:48, and 2:39 revisits 1:08, it leaves each of them feeling uncertain in ways that feel different from the original. It's a beautifully composed track that reveals its subtlety over multiple listens.
