Do you remember when flipbooks were all the rage? I remember sitting in the back of my classes in high school and making them. They were amateur at best, but I loved how every page of my little notebook-corner flipbook was a different scene and, when flipped together, created a bigger story. Maybe that’s me digging a bit too deep into the meaning and function behind a flipbook, but here we are, and that’s where my head was at as I pushed play on “flipbook consciousness” from Guteren.

Part emo, part pop-punk, and, eventually, part screamo- this song spoke to my nostalgia-seeking soul in all of the right ways. The beginning of this track is easy enough to pick up on. It’s a rollercoaster ride with euphoric highs contrasted by heartbreaking lows, just like every good emo song should have, but what really caught me about this song is what happens about two minutes in. You can feel a slight increase in tension and pressure as the song marches up to the moment when everything changes. I love how Guteren makes you need the change that happens. It makes you crave the intensity that comes towards the end of the track, and when it happens, you are left oh so very satisfied.
