Moments Worth Listening For

The transition in Joy to the World where the traditional carol dissolves into a driving, krautrock-inspired synth groove.

The quiet, devastating intimacy of Christmas in the Room, where the acoustic guitar and whispered vocals make a holiday feel like a private sanctuary.

The sprawling, psychedelic instrumental build that occupies the second half of the thirteen-minute epic The Child With the Star on His Head.
