Moments Worth Listening For

The hypnotic, sprawling piano patterns on A Dervesh in the Nursery that anchor the album's longest narrative arc.

The jarring transition into The War on the Poor where the social commentary pierces the dreamlike haze.

The recurring 'Hook' interludes that act as sonic palate cleansers between the dense, surrealist vignettes.
