Moments Worth Listening For
The desperate, soaring vocal climb in the chorus of She Wouldn't Be Gone that captures a sudden realization of loss.
The stripped-back, intimate acoustic interplay on Bare Skin Rug that feels like a private living room performance.
The way the electric guitar bite on Good at Startin' Fires cuts through the polished production with a classic rock edge.
