April's use of silence in each of her albums

i love the way that April uses silence in her songs, and these are just the most prominent examples from each album:

fishmonger - the pause in Where did you fall after the first verse, so good

boneyard - the pauses in the chorus of Girls and boys that plays a different noise each time ("Did you- *pause* -do what you wanted to? Do what you wanted to?)

Wallsocket - Shoot to kill, kill your darlings OBVIOUSLY, the pauses after every verse are so well done

Wallsocket (Director's Cut) - in CCTV, after the first two or three verses when it goes silent then that guitar lead comes back in distorted, so so good (honorable mention in Northwest zombie girl during the chorus, "North- *pause* -west zom- *pause* -bie girlllll" is so great)

U - The Peace, in between the three verses. it is so gooddd and it just builds to the suspense of the song. ugh i love it so much

just wanted to post this cause i love sharing what i find cool :) let me know if you have any other examples you love!
