This was the album where Oli truly started singing . Lossless audio lets you hear the raw, vulnerable texture in his voice during tracks like "Avalanche" (which explores his ADHD diagnosis) and the ironic, cheerleader-chant grit of "Happy Song" . Key Tracks to Test Your Setup

Producer Jordan Fish is known for creating a "hyperreal" soundscape—a natural drum kit processed to sound inhuman, and digital synths altered to sound organic. FLAC preserves the transient response : the split-second attack of a sound before it sustains. For example, the guitar tones in "Throne" utilize pulse-width modulation. In 128kbps MP3, this sounds like white noise; in FLAC, it is a deliberately jagged, rhythmic texture that mimics a failing engine.
For That's The Spirit , the cymbal crashes in "Avalanche" contain high-frequency harmonics that MP3 encoders often discard to save space. In FLAC, these harmonics decay naturally rather than vanishing into a "swishing" artifact. Furthermore, the album was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound—a facility known for pristine dynamic range. Lossy compression robs Jensen’s work of its spatial imaging.
