Editrix builds slow tension with “Flesh Debt.” Suitable for a song about romantic desire and where that intersects with its physical expression. But also how one can often feel apprehension of letting those desires overwhelm your better instincts in order to fully indulge those feelings and acting upon them. Of course the consequences of it all. The angular rhythms, guitar harmonics and almost sing-song-y vocals and the push and pull of the song dynamics and its shift in maintaining higher guitar tones over the finely-arranged low end keeps you in the song until it turns into almost a thrash song toward the end for a few passages but transitioning quickly into a math-rock/jazz-inflected bit of sonic intensity that is reminiscent of FACS at its most chaotic yet covertly controlled.
