Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, ominous bass drop on 'Love Crisis' that sets a militant tone for the entire record.
The juxtaposition of sweet, weeping harmonies against the stark lyrical reality of the ghetto in 'Willow Tree'.
The hypnotic, swirling reverb tails on the percussion during the bridge of 'Natural Mystic'.
The raw, unpolished vocal delivery on 'Hard Ground' that captures a sense of exhaustion and resilience.
