Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the pedal steel sighs through the chorus of Return of the Grievous Angel, bridging the gap between 70s cosmic country and 90s alt-rock.
The loose, communal vocal harmonies on You Ain't Goin' Nowhere that sound like a band genuinely enjoying each other's company.
The transition from the sparse, intimate opening of Untitled (Love Song) into a full-band swell that feels like a warm embrace.
