Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic wah-wah guitar riff on the title track that reimagines Isaac Hayes through a surf lens.
The driving, organ-heavy bridge in Gimme Some Lovin' that pushes the tempo into a garage-rock frenzy.
The surprisingly delicate melodic phrasing on Never My Love where the guitar mimics a vocal croon.
