Moments Worth Listening For

The rhythmic, percussive vocal delivery on 'Throw the R Away' that turns a linguistic quirk into a political statement.

The stark contrast between the skeletal acoustic version of 'Letter From America' and the fuller, anthemic band version.

The sudden, soaring harmony transition in 'Make My Heart Fly' that briefly turns the folk record into a soul track.
