Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected elegance of the acoustic piano on 'What's Now Is Now' breaking the band's long-standing ban on the instrument.
The driving, syncopated bassline of 'Sick of You' providing a funky foundation for a quintessential anthem of modern frustration.
The lonely, atmospheric pedal steel on 'Bound Away' that shifts the record into a dusty, Americana-inflected travelogue.
