Moments Worth Listening For
The way the upright bass line on the title track anchors Emily Haines' airy vocals in a smoky jazz-club atmosphere.
The sudden shift into a glitchy, rhythmic pulse during the bridge of Soft Rock Star.
The skeletal, haunting piano melody that opens London Halflife, capturing a sense of profound urban isolation.
