Moments Worth Listening For
the way the crackling vinyl texture gives way to the soaring, nostalgic synth lead on Dictaphone's Lament
the integration of PBS-style educational vocal samples that anchor the track in a specific 1970s childhood memory
the rhythmic shift in the title track where the drums sharpen into a crisp, driving downtempo groove
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
