Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the glitchy intro into the soaring, rain-soaked synth hook of Raindrops.

Yoko Ono's unmistakable avant-garde vocal contributions clashing against the driving beat on Day of the Sunflowers.

Santigold's cool, detached delivery anchoring the jagged, staccato rhythms of the title track.
