Intronaut - Fast Worms


From the upcoming album "The Direction Of Last Things", out November 13th, 2015.

I know that Intronaut is quite popular but it never really caught my ear; that is until I heard this song. That jazz in the second part and tasty combo of singing/growling has done it. I really dig this song and look forward to sampling the album.

Score: 4
