Moments Worth Listening For
The swampy slide guitar and rhythmic grit of Little Feat transforming the opener into a bluesy country shuffle.
The deep, resonant bass drop in the chorus of No Matter How High that anchors the soaring lead melody.
The synth-heavy, atmospheric build of the title track closing the album with a cinematic sense of scale.
