Moments Worth Listening For
The rapid-fire percussive assault of Classical Thump where the bass sounds like a full drum kit and a piano simultaneously.
The melodic tenderness of the Overjoyed cover, proving the electric bass can be as delicate as a harp.
The way the groove on Me and My Bass Guitar locks into a pocket so deep it feels like multiple players are involved.
