Moments Worth Listening For
The way the harp on Guermo Harp seems to struggle against a digital tide before finding a rhythmic pocket
The sudden transition from the dense Subtractive Loss into the more skeletal, haunting piano of Unbeaten Tuesdays
The rhythmic stutter on Chord Choke that mimics a skipping record but resolves into a beautiful, melodic loop
