Through biting octatonicism, dense turbulent textures, and a driving polyrhythmic nature, the music embodies the chaotic, explosive traits of a Molotov Cocktail. The juxtaposition of stability and instability through meter is used to build tension up to a solid arrival towards the end, reminiscent of rock and roll.
