A shifting soundtrack for Spyglass: uneasy score pieces turn the old house into a maze of unstable identities, while quieter passages leave room for Birdy’s and Eden’s private grief and longing. The vocal half moves between suspicion, self-possession, and dangerous intimacy, echoing a story in which appearances—and even the role of “wife”—cannot be trusted.
