Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive, anthemic chorus of the title track where the production suddenly blooms into a wall of sound.

The unexpected psychedelic swirl and sample-heavy bridge of Baseball Cards that breaks the garage rock mold.

The way the frantic energy of Post Acid resolves into a perfectly polished, sugary pop hook.
