Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, seven-minute electronic pulse that opens the album before a single guitar note is struck.
The sudden transition from the harsh lo-fi intro of track 2 into a sprawling inner monologue.
The triumphant, brass-inflected climax of the final track that feels like a spiritual release.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
