Moments Worth Listening For
The transition in 'Rolling Stone' where the driving synth-pop beat dissolves into a sprawling, industrial-tinged noise soundscape.
The soaring, tragic climax of 'So Falls the World' where the vocals reach a peak of cinematic vulnerability.
The precise, icy drum machine patterns on 'Nemoralia' that anchor the lush mythological references.
