"Enjoy The Change" is a glistening trap/dubstep amalgam fitted out with a yearning vocal hook; "Aerial Flight" flips cascading, exotic-sounding choral harmonies to a soundscape evocative of a CGI-enhanced rainforest flyover in IMAX. As he is increased his uniqueness, and beefed up their sound.

Diffuse harmonies, drums and while swelling synths conjure M83 and Sigur Rós.
