Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from a dry, spoken-word delivery into a swirling psychedelic soundscape on track 5.
The stark, trembling vulnerability of the piano-led finale on track 11 where the voice nearly breaks.
The nine-minute hypnotic groove of track 12 that feels like a slow-motion descent into a dream.
