12:20 for anyone wondering, this is a bar of 9/8 and a bar of 7/8 repeated together. i typically count 7/8 as "1 and 2 and 3 and a", 9/8 the same but "4 and a" what makes it really hard to feel comfortably, with that in mind, is that the musical phrase starts on the 2nd beat of the 9/8 bar with a low bass note. so we're feeling music in what ultimately adds up to two very normal 4/4 bars of music *in literal time*, but that time spent getting there is split up in a way that is disorienting and chaotic. it provides a great tension and excitement building up to the release, and what a release! absolutely gargantuan distorted bass chords, heavier than the earth
