Starting with a fragile trumpet call on the edge of collapse, Worst Impulses proceeds with a quiet attentiveness that hovers at the threshold of disintegration. Dark gestures emerge, fold, and fade, presenting themselves like fleeting particles before sublimating to the void. In the final moments, the stillness is consumed by a murky incessant hum that overtakes all else.
