Opening with stark piano and vocals, ‘Origami’ quickly swells in texture and pace, employing layers of synths, haunting vocals, piano stabs and urgent, syncopated beats. The intensity and exasperation of the track mimics the subject matter, highlighting the mystifying sense of loss.
Reflecting on the single, QUAILS explains “Origami examines the delicate and muffled struggle of one person’s affection of another.” Continuing she says “The references to origami conjure a sense of beautifully intricate, complex and delicate forms, which have retreated from being open to intimacy and instead have shut it out completely.”
