"Agoraphobia" might be the most blissful song about getting buried alive for sexual gratification. Recalling the subdued pop of the Velvet Underground, guitarist Lockett Pundt takes the reins and proves to be a sweetly understated singer. The melancholic lyrics ("I lose my voice, I know/ but I've nothing left to say") are accompanied by sunlit psych-pop melodies. If it weren't for Pundt's seductive way of singing, "come for me/cover me," the sexual undertones would be buried (ha!). It's a wildly provocative song disguised as with sweetly innocent melodies, but above all, "Agoraphobia" is masterfully done.
