“I Was Ill, You Were Wrong” by Canadian post-punk band TRAITRS has the hazy synth melodies underneath highly emotive vocals and driving rhythms one might expect out of early 80s The Cure. The heartwrenching vocals express the feelings of someone who has been on the receiving end of what feels like an especially spate of lack of empathy. It is the sound of someone profoundly hurt and disappointed yet sympathetic to the pain and misfortune that resulted in a situation in which people connected are split because bad habits are unbanished by affection.
