Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive, rhythmic thrum of the guitar strings hitting the boombox mic on Born Ready.
The transition from the traditional hymn Abide With Me into the stark, original songwriting of the EP.
The way the tape hiss becomes a third instrument during the quietest passages of Cobscook Bay.
