Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden swell of saxophone and gospel-tinged backing vocals that elevates the bridge of track 3.
The devastating narrative shift in track 4 where the instrumentation strips back to a lonely piano.
The seven-minute slow-burn build of the final track that culminates in a sprawling guitar solo.
