Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring but thrilling transition where the delicate harp of 'She Moved Through the Fair' gives way to the heavy rock percussion of the following tracks.
The defiant, chanting energy of 'Brezhoneg raok' where the band locks into a proto-punk folk groove.
The swirling, psychedelic interplay between the electric guitar and the bagpipes during the climax of 'An dro nevez'.
