I remember this. I love the angular chords and coolness of everything about this.
Your singing feels dry-mouth and removed yet thoughtful. Not unlike a Kenny Rogers approach but with the vocal cords more of a Bowie. Sol works well with this. Two singers holding back emotionally for the chorus to then let it out.
The piano is especially interesting for me. It's like your pointillistically painting with it. Leaving so much space around it's occasionally stabbed chords.
In fact "space" is what I notice about this most: it's like you're playing with it. Leaving plenty of it in the verses, then throttle down more in the chorus.
I occasionally arrive at something as abstractly beautiful as this by making myself make uncomfortable choices--trying to do things I don't normally try. So much of your music seems like that--and the icing is that it's void of cliche. Creative and fresh.
Like this a bunch!

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
