Moments Worth Listening For
The clinical, perfectly quantized drum beat of 'Hey Nineteen' that feels both robotic and incredibly funky.
The arrival of the brass section on 'Babylon Sisters', sounding like a meticulously rehearsed sunset.
The soaring, melancholic guitar solo that anchors the closing track 'Third World Man'.
