Moments Worth Waiting For
The seamless crossfade between Keel Timing and Bed Head that makes them feel like one continuous heartbeat.
The way Inaudible builds from a ghostly whisper into a massive, multi-tracked choral explosion.
The skeletal, finger-picked intimacy of Telepath providing a sudden breath of air in the middle of the record.
