Moments Worth Listening For

The infectious, driving acoustic guitar riff that opens Am I Wrong, instantly setting a global pop tone.

The transition from the Lakota interlude into the soulful, rhythmic pulse of Thought I Knew.

The way the duo's voices lock into a perfect, soaring harmony during the final chorus of In Your Arms.
