Moments Worth Listening For
The menacing vocoder chant on Skulls that sounds like a digital warning from the afterlife.
The massive, soaring synth swell during the climax of I Had This Thing that feels like a physical wave of regret.
Robyn's detached yet commanding vocal delivery on the reworked version of Monument.
The way Sordid Affair uses a simple, repetitive bassline to build an almost unbearable sense of romantic tension.
