Moments Worth Listening For
The clever lyrical pivot in 'Meanwhile' where a perfect evening is revealed to be a mere distraction from a haunting memory.
The bright, infectious acoustic strumming that opens 'Write This Down', instantly setting a feel-good, mid-tempo pace.
The devastating simplicity of the chorus in '4 Minus 3 Equals Zero' where the math of a broken family is laid bare.
