Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, bluesy shift halfway through the nine-minute epic The Next Messiah where the groove settles into a deep, swampy pocket.
The raw, communal vulnerability of the title track where the backing vocals swell like a secular church choir.
The frantic, rockabilly-adjacent energy of See Fernando that breaks the album's mid-tempo contemplative haze.
