Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's frantic, rhythmic vocal delivery that mimics the cadence of a cyclist pedaling through traffic.
The sudden, tender shift into a slower tempo during Streets of Edinburgh that highlights the brothers' aging vocal character.
The punchy, almost punk-rock brevity of A Way With Words where the harmonies lock into a singular, piercing frequency.
