Moments Worth Listening For

The twelve-minute ascent of Hariaa where the violin begins to weave around the vocal like a second voice.

The transition into the English refrain on Ong Sohung that grounds the ancient mantra in contemporary folk.

The way the harmonium drone on Suni-ai creates a physical sensation of weightlessness before the first lyric.
