Moments Worth Listening For
The soaring, wide-screen chorus of Cowboy Dreams that feels like a Technicolor sunset.
The way the pedal steel sighs through the eight-minute title track, creating a cinematic desert psych-drama.
The unexpected, playful bounce of Farmyard Cat closing the album with a wink.
