Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless transition from the spoken intro into the bright, jangling synth hook of the title track.
The way the drums lock into a steady, hip-hop influenced groove on 'Night Vision' while the vocals remain ethereal.
The sprawling, patient build of 'Regroup & Start Anew' which serves as the emotional and sonic climax of the record.
