Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition from the sparse, rhythmic verse to the soaring synth-driven chorus of Combat Baby
The way the bassline in Dead Disco relentlessly pulses while Emily Haines delivers a detached, rhythmic vocal performance
The sudden shift to a quiet, acoustic vulnerability in the closing minute of Love Is a Place
