Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, rhythmic 'woah-oh' refrain in Earthquake Weather that mimics the tension of a heatwave.
The conversational, self-deprecating humor in Kinks Shirt that perfectly captures the awkwardness of new attraction.
The way Farewell December builds from a quiet acoustic memory into a soaring, celebratory anthem of closure.
