"Automatic Writing" presents a rich tapestry of sound characterized by its experimental rock foundation. The production is marked by a lo-fi aesthetic, allowing the rawness of the instrumentation to shine through. Tracks like "Dust" and "Montreal" feature layered guitars that create a swirling, immersive atmosphere, while the rhythmic pulse of "Another" and "Addition" injects a driving energy. The tempos vary, with some songs leaning into a more meditative pace, contrasting with the urgent, almost frenetic moments found in others. Textures range from ethereal and spacious to gritty and dense, making the album distinctive in its ability to balance introspection with a sense of urgency, inviting listeners into a dynamic sonic landscape.
