Moments Worth Listening For

The way the beat on Put Me Under feels like it was recorded directly to a worn-out cassette tape.
That specific moment in Higher where the vocal grit cuts through the muddy production with pure desperation.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
