Moments Worth Listening For
The way the percussion snaps into focus on Time to Walk Away, providing a sharp contrast to the hazy synth wash.
The shimmering arpeggios in Rain Arp that feel like light reflecting off a moving pool of water.
The expansive, cinematic swell of the synths during the final two minutes of Don't Go.
