Moments Worth Listening For
The way the electronic drum fills on the title track slice through the thick bass like a laser.
The haunting, high-register vocal interplay between Michael Rose and Puma Jones on World Is Africa.
The sudden, skeletal dub breakdown in Vampire where the bass becomes the only solid object in the room.
