Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the gentle piano of Mimi Merlot into the frantic character-driven narrative of Butterscotching Mr. Lynn.

The sprawling eighteen-minute finale that dissolves from structured pop into a collage of found sound and spoken word.

The layered vocal harmonies on Penelope that evoke the sun-drenched psychedelia of the mid-sixties.
