The recording process at Hampshire-based Laundry Studios presented Mark Vennis’ songwriting expertise as well as his production skills. The original post-punk track utilizes delicate ethereal guitar sounds and sad melodies which produce a calming yet disquieting ambiance. Through this acoustic arrangement the musicians have eliminated instrumentation to display the authentic emotional weight in the song. Buildings” transforms the song into a widescreen electronic journey that uses dub echoed synths together with suspenseful synths.
