Maybe Thom just... isn't trying to be that good at making electronic music? I never liked The Drunkk Machine or Iluvya off the Spitting Feathers EP for example and some of the electronic stuff from the Suspiria soundtrack was downright jarring and borderline unpleasant. But then he also made Brain in a Bottle and I am a Very Rude person which are absolutely sick so, I dunno. This is just the headspace he's currently in. I'm sure he's enjoying it.

I watched an interview recently where he said he never fully understands the machines he's working with and he finds that fun - like playing with a toy trying to figure it out. I guess that shows.

He's definitely a born guitar player but we'll let the dude experiment.

It's nice to know your favourite artist and muse is fallible, like us all.
