Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition from the acoustic strumming of the intro into the driving, distorted bassline of track 1.
The iconic, high-pitched synth hook that anchors the chorus of Tongue Tied, instantly shifting the energy into overdrive.
The communal, shouted vocal trade-offs during the climax of Colours that feel like a live performance captured in studio.
