I was sent this upon its release and was immediately taken with how honed and nostalgic this Glasgow screamo band's sound is. Striking with urgency, the opening track "Do No Harm" wastes no time going full-tilt before taming their beast, but it's the final section from 50 seconds onward that really ties the chaos to the beauty. Things only get better from here as "Ask Yourself if Doubt Breeds Decisions" gives me Ken Burns vibes and creates a helluvan arc in its short 2:07 duration. "Filigree" is my favourite of the five here and it's some triumphant and groovy-ass shit, godfuckingdamn. The swings in this song are reminiscent of the kind of wizardry that Jesse Mowery (Apostles Of Eris, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, etc.) and Keratin pull off with ease. The title track "Will I Still Wake Waiting to Be Something?" has got some Montcalm and Closure going on and I fucking love it, especially those screams. Closer and only song to even come close to the three-minute mark "A Cataract, A Blurry Eyeful" borders on some Kidcrash shit and is obviously a fitting way to end a stunning debut.
