It's Simple Minds if they spent a summer in a sleek Italian electronic studio.

A bright, digital optimism that feels like watching the sun rise over a modern city.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's opening synth swell that feels like a literal sunrise breaking through clouds.
The hypnotic six-minute pulse of One Step Closer where the band locks into a deep, electronic groove.
The transition into the instrumental closer The Floating World, which strips away the vocals for pure atmospheric texture.
