Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic, woody clack of the percussion on the opening track that feels like someone tapping on a table.
The surprisingly lush vocal harmonies on Love Love Love Love Love that soften Gano's usual sharp edge.
The way Fast Horses stretches out into a more patient, atmospheric folk meditation than their early work allowed.
