The set as tape — each song is as wide as it is long, segued songs run on unbroken tape (split by a splice, not a gap), and jams burn.

Draconian Meter Maid — Early aggressive clav work from Peter glides smoothly through a peak before things shift into a contemplative mode. A repeating riff on marimba piano allows for Trevor to really stick out around Cotter's insistent drumming and Rick's subtle riffing.
Arrow — A thick, grimy soundscape with heavily distorted vibes, Trevor in beast mode, Rick Marshall stack-like overdriven vamping, and a handful of perfectly-placed Jebb bass bombs. A sonic full-frontal assault. If War on Drugs covered “Arrow,” it would sound like this.

1Running Up That Hill — Kate Bush.
2Jeff Engborg — Unfinished. With Also Sprach Zarathustra tease from Peter.
Jeff Engborg — Part of an absolutely flawless second set, the most adventurous "Engborg" to date explodes out of "Running Up That Hill" as the band plays with dynamics on the jam. Peter adds some synth before Rick pulls us back into peak mode, blows the roof off the Brady Center, and fades unfinished into "Sinnerman."
3Sinnerman — Nina Simone.
4Into the Myst — Unfinished.
Into the Myst — Eschews the standard 2024 "Saints" motif in favour of a slow and breathtakingly gorgeous jam. Peter leans hard into the Vintage Vibe as Rick pours an incredible amount of emotion into his solo.
