Moments Worth Listening For
The soulful, smoky interplay between Stuart Murdoch and Norah Jones on the bluesy ballad Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John.
The sudden, driving energy of the title track as the female-led vocals kick in with a classic 60s pop urgency.
The delicate, ticking percussion and synth-pop undercurrent that opens I Didn't See It Coming, signaling a modern shift.
