There is something about resentment that has a life of its own after the moment of its birth. "Baseline" by Hate At First Sight plunges headlong into that uncomfortable emotional space, examining what happens when hostility, toxicity, and falling out leave a person looking for their footing again.

"Baseline" is about the idea of an emotional baseline, the point at which a person has to face what's happened and begin to recalibrate their balance. The track paints resentment as the tension of holding those feelings and working out what comes next. It's rooted in alt-rock and post-punk but with gritty indie rock textures and hardcore energy that gives its identity some weight. 

The concept of "Baseline" is relatable. Most people know what it is to have their balance upset by something that happens, especially if the conflict is unexpected. Hate At First Sight has an emotional disruption that makes it feel raw and tense, grounding it in the messier side of human relationships. "Baseline" is a musical exploration of what it takes to regain your emotional bearings after everything has fallen apart.
