Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden arrival of traditional South Asian instrumentation that disrupts the standard indie rock palette on the opening track.
The way the vocal harmonies stack into a dizzying, operatic wall of sound during the climax of Wake Up.
The transition into a more intimate, stripped-back vulnerability on Guardian Angel that closes the EP.
