Moments Worth Listening For

The way the pitch-shifted vocals on Gretel create a haunting, multi-tracked choir that feels both childlike and ancient.

The sudden transition from the experimental synth wash of Project 2 into the jarring, country-inflected twang of Bad Man.

The live recording of SugarHouse closing the album with a triumphant, Springsteen-esque saxophone solo that feels like waking up from a dream.
