Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the haunting, operatic moans of Releaser into the bouncy, Pharrell-produced groove of By Design.

The explosive, distorted synth lead that kicks in halfway through Baptized in Fire.

The way the tribal percussion on Surfin' builds into a celebratory, horn-drenched finale that feels like a hard-won victory.
