Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden, explosive shift in 'Method to the Madness' where the sparse piano ballad erupts into a swirling, euphoric electronic crescendo.

The infectious, rubbery bassline of 'This Car Drives All by Itself' locking in with a crisp drum machine beat to create an unstoppable groove.

The soaring, bittersweet chorus of 'Everything I Love Is Going to Die' making a grim existential realization sound like a triumphant festival singalong.
