Musically, the production by Preservation is essential to the album’s haunting atmosphere. It eschews traditional boom-bap structures in favor of jarring loops, dissonant jazz samples, and eerie field recordings. These sounds create a sense of displacement, mirroring the lyrical themes of migration and exile. On tracks like "Asylum," Woods paints a vivid picture of a childhood spent in Zimbabwe, blending domestic memories with the looming shadow of political instability. The music feels claustrophobic, reflecting the "panopticon" of modern surveillance and the internal traps of one's own mind.
