"On Obsidian, it seems that Wiesenfeld is trying to avoid addressing his emotions head on by hiding them behind effects-laden beats, as captivating as those beats sometimes are. Or, in other words, he's substituting musical complexity for emotional, lyrical complexity, not attempting to address the layers of his feelings hand-in-hand with their musical manifestations".
