But what holds all that muddled noise and (name’s) indecipherable howling lurk

But what holds all that muddled noise and (name’s) indecipherable howling lurk these infectious guitar hooks and beeps and bloops — the mixed signals to which the song’s title refers before receding back into straightforward guitar-drums that fade into white noise and a final dissonant shriek of a few guitar strings. This isn’t a simple band. Each song is heavy with meaning, though it’s something you might miss at a live show because you’d be (understandably) paying more attention to the catchy guitar hooks and atypical drum rhythms. It’s the kind of record where you discover new nuances each time you listen to it. While the songs are catchy, it’s cerebral music packaged in an unassuming, crusty package. If you’re not paying attention, these guys might sound like a more or less typical garage band.
