Moments Worth Listening For
The startlingly close-mic'd vocal on Bless the Telephone that makes it feel like he is whispering directly into your ear.
The way the guitar strums on Summer Is Coming create a rhythmic tension that feels both urgent and perfectly relaxed.
The brief, thirty-second vignettes like You're Lovely that act as palate cleansers between the longer, more structured songs.
