As far as surreal opening gambits go, “I pave the backstreet with the mist of my brain” is extremely effective. The lyric is specific, yet elusive. It’s vaguely sinister, bringing to mind spritzed blood and dark alleys. The words are made even more intriguing once you consider what’s backing them: cheeseball synth chords straight out of Van Halen’s “Jump.” All of it creates a bizarro musical universe in eight seconds flat. And it’s just the beginning of “Falling Into Me,” a snarling prog-pop suite by teenage duo Let’s Eat Grandma about embracing your own power.

Childhood friends Jenny Hollingworth and Rosa Walton are their own righteous pep squad here, pushing through anxiety to own moments and take charge. “We got this,” they sing, as they describe zipping through yellow lights and acting on pangs of lust with a heady poeticism. The pair could also simply be psyching themselves up for the daunting song itself, which folds in neon Carly Rae Jepsen dance-pop, crunching electronics, baroque guitar, and—why not—a gliding saxophone solo across six stuffed minutes. Remarkably, every part snaps together, like a sleek Ikea spacecraft. It’s the sound of spontaneous enlightenment, realized.
