The bass has this signature chromatic descending line G F# F E, and these chords have those notes, and so they harmonize the bass line, but they don't really work, in a manner of speaking. It sounds jerky, or disjointed, which fits this disaffection of the music. If you repeat any four chords over and over, you will create a aural pattern.

If I was sololing over this, the basic key is E minor and I would force the E minor pentatonic over the whole thing.
