Moments Worth Listening For
The transformation of Fleetwood Mac's 'Second Hand News' into a bouncy, organ-driven duet that feels entirely new.
The delicate, vulnerable vocal delivery on the Daniel Johnston cover that closes the album with a quiet hope.
The way the drums and organ lock into a frantic, driving rhythm during the climax of 'Sleep the Clock Around'.
