Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, rhythmic entry of the horn section on Gadigal Land that bridges 80s energy with modern urgency.
The haunting, stripped-back vocal interplay between Peter Garrett and Jessica Mauboy on First Nation.
The profound silence that follows the final spoken words of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
