Moments Worth Listening For

The propulsive 7/4 drum beat of Shoreline locking in with the brass section for a jagged, danceable anthem.

The ten-minute sprawl of the closing track as it dissolves into a glorious, brass-heavy cacophony.

The sudden, sharp guitar feedback that slices through the melodic tension of Ibi Dreams of Pavement.
