Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, distorted guitar crunch that kicks off the opening track with immediate chaotic intent.
The way the melody in 'Gingerale Afternoon' feels like a sunny pop song viewed through a cracked, dirty lens.
The sheer audacity of the final track's half-hour repetitive pulse that tests the listener's patience and sanity.
