Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the digital 'Upload' intro into the pulsing, synth-driven optimism of 'A New Beginning'.
The haunting, stripped-back tension of 'What if the Lights Go Out' where the beat mimics a failing power grid.
The expansive, seven-minute closing of 'Download' where the vocals dissolve into a swirling electronic soundscape.
