Then, reflecting on Stephen Morris of New Order, Bryan Devendorf said:

“Listen to their song ‘Age of Consent.’ It’s fluttering 16th notes on the high-hat. The hat can get icy, but in this case it’s fluttery with a soft chik. That rhythm figure with the pulsing beat gave it all those restless, ineffable things you associate with heartbreak. It’s not melodramatic, it’s the perfect beat for the emotion.”
