A riveting sequence of percussion articulations and tonal flux, ‘Wolfram Alpha’ swells with warm chords, moody vocals, and novel ear candy. Glitched-out hits pan from left to right in rapid fire, surrounding us in a barrage of sharp arpeggiation, all the while wrapping us in a blanket of sustained bass, a contrast that tickles the ears.
