Moments Worth Listening For
The sleazy, honking saxophone that cuts through the title track like a serrated knife.
The sudden, vulnerable shift into the instrumental 'Night Theme' that feels like a lonely walk home.
Iggy's desperate, repetitive howling of 'Johanna' over a collapsing rhythmic structure.
