Fueled by Gibson’s two refrigerator-sized speaker cabs pumping out over three thousand watts of distorted bass alongside Chippendale’s drumstick-shattering rhythms, Lightning Bolt’s elusive concerts—frequently announced only days or hours in advance—are an unforgettable experience...

...desert you / Or turn against,” the chorus ironically reiterates.“Last Words,” chronicling J. Smith’s final utterances, reaches the melodic peaks of Travis’s earlier music, although there are new, darker undertones.
