Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive fuzz-tone lead on the title track that signals a departure from their cleaner surf roots.
The heavy, lumbering bass line on 'Born to Be Wild' that gives the instrumental cover a menacing weight.
The swirling, psychedelic organ textures that bleed through the guitar layers on 'Embers in E Minor'.
