Moments Worth Listening For

the jarring, distorted guitar riff that opens Give Yourself a Try like an alarm clock

the transition from ambient house textures into the glitchy beat of Petrichor

the Siri-voiced monologue about the man who married a robot ending in a lush orchestral swell

the explosive, anthemic chorus of Love It If We Made It that feels like a collective scream
