Em "Pain Is Beauty", Wolfe refina o seu som através de uma visão mais concisa e direta - transformando seu rock gótico em um darkwave gélido pela inclusão de uma produção mais eletrônica, com vocalizações etéreas em uma abordagem mais atmosférica que nunca, "Pain Is Beauty" traz um tom mais distante para a música de Wolfe, mais presente em uma dimensão onírica congelada, com soundscapes mais exuberantemente obscuras que a floresta úmida dos seus álbuns anteriores, trazendo consigo composições mais complexas que favorecem a atmosfera encapsulante.
