Moments Worth Listening For

The way the staccato, reggae-influenced guitar of The Clash anchors the opening drama of The Shuttered Palace.

The transition into the haunting, cabaret-inflected cover of My Legionnaire where Foley's voice drops to a vulnerable whisper.

The driving, cinematic momentum of MPH that feels like a high-stakes chase through a 1940s film noir set.
