Moments Worth Listening For
The eight-minute slow-burn build of Miles & Miles that sets a surprisingly expansive tone for the record.
The title track's infectious, bouncy synth hook that contrasts sharply with its disappointed lyrical core.
The sudden, aggressive shift into the dance-floor-ready groove of I Wanna Fuck You Till I’m Dead.
