Heaven, or Someplace as Nice

Moments Worth Listening For
The skeletal fingerpicking on 'The Bride' that feels like a ghost moving through a room.
The way 'Only a River' expands with a subtle, humming resonance that mimics a slow-moving current.
The vulnerable, unpolished vocal crack during the final refrain of 'I'm Not Smiling'.
