Stark Pestilential Minimalism
In early December 2023, I got Covid. It was the sickest I've ever been, hands down. And it came with the fun side effect of insomnia alternating with terrifying half-awake fever dreams. This track is an attempt to evoke and sublimate that nightmarish week.

It neared as if the Devil was in it.
