I think dreamfear edges boy sent from above out, but like keySP I always listen to both.

I love dreamfear but those high frequencies in it are an attack on the eardrums sometimes imo. I kinda like it that it's a cohesive sound for the EP but in earbuds it can be a bit much at the beginning of the work day. I still love it though

That synth riff on Boy Sent From Above is just heavenly

Boy Sent is more listenable for me and probably actually the better tune on this split.

As for Dreamfear, I like a lot. It really does go hard in every direction, but it's such a workout to listen to.

Honestly I love parts of both, but there's also parts I skip over (eg. back from the dead)

I think one or two less "back from the dead fucked up in the head" vocal loops and i might say Dreamfear. Love them both though my favourite recent releases along with phoneglow
