Moments Worth Listening For

The unsettling contrast between the jaunty chamber arrangement and the dark subject matter of Madhouse.

The way the woodwinds weave a dizzying, hypnotic spiral through the remix of Green Glass Violins.

The sudden shift into a more skeletal, rhythmic tension during the occult-themed narrative of Walter the Occultist.
