Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, synth-heavy chorus of Choices that signals the band's shift away from guitar-driven indie.
The shimmering, atmospheric build-up in Sarajevo that showcases a more serious and expansive sonic palette.
The frantic, staccato vocal delivery in Bumpy Ride that perfectly captures the album's nervous energy.
