Shimmering synths and high-register basslines meet a more patient, reflective songwriting style. A record of hard-won peace and mid-tempo emotional clarity.

Moments Worth Listening For
The propulsive, interlocking bass and drum groove that kicks off For Sure, signaling a return to the band's core strength.
The sudden, gravelly vocal intensity during the bridge of Born in a War that breaks the polished synth surface.
The way the shimmering keys on Moonlight create a sense of weightless suspension before the beat anchors the track.
