The dynamics of "Magnets, Pt. 2" are like rolling hills; soft fields are coupled with peaks of energy. The intro gives off an especially docile and cautious feel, which only makes the buildups that happen throughout feel even more powerful.
When Wellbaum sings "that when your body hit the earth/it opened up and swallowed you" she hits us with an unexpected, explosive vigor. Her androgynous voice is leathery and raw, contributing to the grunginess that contrasts with the moments of quiet and melodic guitar.
What makes Slothrust's music feel so unique and empowering is the passion and certainty their music holds, despite these varying dynamics.
