Moments Worth Listening For

The transition on the title track from the spoken-word-like opening into the soaring, crystalline melody of the glimmering girl.

The haunting, unaccompanied vocal purity that opens the ancient tale of Great Selchie of Shule Skerry.

The stark, rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming that drives the melancholic anti-war warning of Crow on the Cradle.
