Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic, hypnotic pulse of track 4 mimicking the mechanical sway of a long-distance rail journey.
The sudden, chilling shift in atmosphere during the final track as it approaches the 11:02 AM timestamp.
Delicate piano melodies in track 2 that feel like falling petals against a backdrop of dark, synthetic drones.
