“Uncertainty” is a stark stillness between grief and grit, the song is a masterclass in vulnerability, restraint, and existential ache. In some sense, it reminds me of old Nirvana, like “Something In The Way” era. At its core, “Uncertainty” feels like a meditation on doubt – not the kind that screams, but the kind that lingers. The track is stripped down yet sonically rich, it radiates a sparse intimacy, the kind that demands quiet and rewards stillness. The production is lo-fi in spirit but deliberate in design. Every creak, every breath, every moment of silence feels purposeful. Max, who has long mastered the dense architecture of metal, shows just as much control in this minimalist realm. Here, less becomes more. And silence, perhaps, says the most. Marginal’s lyrics are poetic with pretension, lines hover in that liminal space between memory and present tense, suggesting a narrative loop trapped between moving forward and looking back. Marginal’s voice is delicate, hushed, but never weak. He doesn’t belt – he leans in. There’s a closeness in the delivery, like a late-night voice memo never meant to be shared. And yet, that rawness becomes the song’s strength. “Uncertainty” is a quiet storm – devastating in restraint, beautiful in its ache.
