Moments Worth Listening For
The unsettlingly intimate breath sounds that open 'Engines in the City' making the listener feel physically invaded.
The way 'Blood Flight' transitions from a delicate folk melody into a swirling, chaotic instrumental breakdown.
The eight-minute slow burn of 'This Is a Thirst' where the repetition of the title becomes a hypnotic, primal mantra.
