A dense, cosmic grandiosity replaces the physical weight of their previous work, wrapping these thirteen tracks in a high-definition wall of synthesizers and delayed guitars. The songs reach for a stargazing, stadium-scale scale, where solitary piano chords and soft electronic pulses routinely erupt into massive, soaring climaxes designed to fill the cold vacuum of space.

Moments Worth Listening For
