Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into the disco-inflected break on People Everywhere where the bass locks into a relentless pocket.

The way the guitar melody on Two Fish and an Elephant mimics a human voice with its expressive, sliding vibrato.

The sudden, heavy drum fill that anchors the drifting psychedelic haze of August Twelve.
