Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's opening tremolo guitar that immediately establishes a widescreen cinematic scope.
The sudden, soaring falsetto leap in 'Please Don’t Call' that punctuates the heartbreak of the lyrics.
The unexpected rhythmic drive and playful vocal delivery on the track 'Insects'.
