There's a sense of peace to 'Process of Elimination' that comes from Hardwick's realisation that they could ignore the need for a diagnosis, and study different kinds of healing. "Now I'm free," Sasha Wilde exhales on 'Dual', while Hardwick offers a spoken word explanation of their situation. Backed by woodwind from Alex McKenzie and saw and double bass from Memory Play, Hardwick adds sparse synthesizer groans, letting the words guide the direction of the composition. It's a sobering piece that roots the album in Hardwick's personal situation, allowing them to jump off into the rhythmic 'Quantology' and the IDM-inspired 'How Dow I Know...'.


The album hits its stride in its second half, with the arpeggio-led 'Language Couldn't Say' and lilting, jazzy 'Pataphysical', two tracks that emphasise the hope that comes from understanding and self-actualisation.
