Moments Worth Listening For
The crackling audio of a childhood home movie transitioning into the fingerpicked opening of Change Your Mind
The devastatingly dry and close-mic'd vocal delivery on Sorry Would Go a Long Way that captures every breath
The lush, stacked vocal harmonies that bloom during the bridge of Language providing a rare moment of sonic density
