"The Pecan Tree" by Deafheaven mixes a blistering black metal attack with a reverb that soothes the atmosphere; the result is ethereal but frantic.
"Cries on the Wind" by Anathema takes a metallic sound and blurs it with psychedelia, creating a strange but oddly compelling piece. The song seems to fill space, literally and figuratively.
"Rising Down" by the Roots is a stripped down hip hop song, built mainly off guitar, a percussive beat, and vocals. The style fits the lyrics well.
"Sleep Apnea" by Chevelle manipulates the traditional alternative metal sound to create a sense of anxiety that elevates the lyrics.
"Caroling" by Eluvium is a simplistic, winter-esque piano-based piece. The atmosphere is serene but cheerful.
