A dynamic alternative and math-rock enthusiasm shows on “The Migrant,” a stirring new track from Birds?. The West Chester, PA-band excels with a tonally and structurally dynamic prowess throughout.
Pit-pattering percussion and atmospheric guitar swells complement a vulnerable vocal admission to start: “I spent the day, just waiting, for what’s to come, I’m not sure.” The serenely contemplative sound escalates briskly into heavy guitar distortion and a general sense of emotive dexterity. Moments of spaciousness and blistering rock heaviness alike invigorate throughout, maintaining a climactic enthrallment from start to finish.
