In short, yes. Hot Chip has some pretty high tempo stuff that I'd still call smooth. As for harsh noises, NIN soothes the fuck out of me when I'm all wound up.
It's not a magic bullet though, some stuff can irritate the fuck out of me at times when usually I love it. shrugs mental illness is complex at times!
I would have never thought that NIN could be calming, to me some NIN stuff feels like I've got blood poisoning or something haha
I mean, they've got stuff that is incredibly jarring when I'm a bit wound up. But the higher intensity stuff is so good when I'm stressed. I sorta slip into the stream and shit just seems to "flow" better. Even if I'm trying to meditate a bit to bring down my anxiety. It sounds wild, but yeah, shit works.
