Moments Worth Listening For
The intricate acoustic interplay on the XTC cover Love on a Farmboy's Wages which brings a pastoral warmth to the pop melody.
The sprawling seven-minute revisit of Tam Lin where the band leans into their legacy with a steady, seasoned groove.
The closing benediction of Best Wishes where the vocal harmonies swell into a genuine moment of communal warmth.
