Moments Worth Listening For
The urgent, driving synth hook and supernatural backing vocals that propel the chorus of Don't Pay the Ferryman.
The transition from intimate acoustic verses to the sweeping, orchestral heartbreak of Borderline.
The way the drums hit with progressive rock precision during the climax of Liberty.
