Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden transition from the whimsical Jupiter Island into the crushing, apocalyptic slow-burn of Radioactive Toy.

The surreal, high-pitched vocal manipulation in Linton Samuel Dawson that sounds like a psychedelic cartoon.

The way the acoustic guitar and flute intertwine on Nine Cats to create a pastoral, Syd Barrett-esque daydream.
