Moments Worth Listening For
The way the subtle funk bassline on 'The Millionaire' drives the track, adding a surprising groove to the soft rock foundation.
The swelling, layered vocal harmonies during the chorus of a track like 'Sleeping Late', creating a truly comforting and expansive sound.
A particularly sharp, witty lyrical couplet delivered with deadpan charm over a smooth, mid-tempo arrangement.
The unexpected brass interlude that punctuates a melodic bridge, adding a touch of sophisticated flair.
