Moments Worth Listening For

The way the guitars weave into a shimmering web during the intro of My Instincts Are the Enemy.

The sudden, bright clarity of the trumpet flourish that cuts through the melancholy of the closing track.

The rhythmic shift in Where Are We Now? where the drums lock into a complex, satisfying groove.
