Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting, nautical swell of strings and piano that anchors the opening of Oceanea.
Mark Knopfler's signature guitar tone weaving through the Americana-tinged narrative of 17 Hills.
The transition from the dusty desert textures of the Amerikana section to the lush, wet electronics of the Urbanoia tracks.
