Moments Worth Listening For
The way the guitar on 'Private Universe' mimics the slow, rhythmic pulse of a deep-sea creature.
The transition into 'Lost in Thought' where the piano melody feels like it's being played in an empty cathedral.
The sudden, haunting vocal presence in 'Cold Out There' that breaks the instrumental spell with a sense of distance.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
