Moments Worth Listening For

The haunting entry of Pamelia Kurstin's theremin on Eos, sounding more like a human voice than an instrument.

The slow, funeral-march piano chords on the title track that feel like they are sinking into deep water.

The way the trumpet on Let the Children Go emerges from the electronic fog like a distant jazz memory.
