The album was presented as a four-part experience drawing inspiration from the daily cycle of the animal kingdom; hunting, lurking, resting and waking.

Mike Hohnen from Music Feeds said "Populated by Tom Iansek's unmistakable falsetto and sustained by Jo Syme's optimistic beat, 'Over Matter' takes the listener on a six-minute sonic, allowing for moments of contemplation or even meditation.

"[14] Craig Mathieson from Sydney Morning Herald called the album "An hour of dazzling, detailed music that matches electronic textures to nefarious horn patterns and malevolent melodies, it's a record that doesn't just transcend genres, it wrestles with psychological unease and personal need.

While constantly switching vibes and playing with different sonic styles, the two-piece transition between the synth-soaked dance tracks to raw and ethereal laments with apparent ease.

The duo have carefully crafted the album to reflect the process of working through uncomfortable drives and urges, eventually heading towards the progression of clarity and this is where Big Scary... have walked the line and fallen on the right side.
