Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into a propulsive house beat on 'I Keep Calling' that signals a departure from his usual stillness.
The way the vocal samples on the title track 'Before' weave in and out of the percussion like a ghost in the machine.
The emotional peak of 'Summer of Now' where the sparse piano meets a heavy, rhythmic pulse.
