Initially, Brevin Kim<\/a>\u2018s new song \u201cthe wedding\u201d is serene. The song begins with a guitar pluck, a disembodied howl, and the voice of a man singing, \u201cAin\u2019t shit cool about falling.\u201d The moment of tranquility lingers for less than 30 seconds as a sense of cascading doom teases itself on the horizon. Then the bottom drops out.<\/p>\n

Screeching synths fill the vacuum, intense drums add to the discord, and the former ghostly voice comes to the forefront yelling, \u201cWake me up. I\u2019m falling.\u201d Sonically and thematically, the soft dreams give way to a brutal nightmare. It\u2019s not the most delicate way to sell a song, but it\u2019s all the duo needs.<\/p>\n

Produced by music\u2019s anarchic architect of the moment, Dylan Brady of 100 gecs, \u201cthe wedding\u201d revels in a sense of dichotomy. The deep, guttural yells by the two Boston brothers are at war with the high-pitched howling of the main synth. In the brisk world that \u201cthe wedding!\u201d builds, there\u2019s a sense that no one knows where the chaos is coming from and at some point its better to succumb than fight it. It\u2019s alluring.<\/p>\n

\u2018The wedding!\u2019 is one of four new tracks released on Monday as part of the pair\u2019s new EP, cliff<\/em>. It\u2019s available now<\/a> on all streaming platforms.<\/p>\n
