Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the title track where the acoustic fingerpicking creates a shimmering, folk-like intimacy.
The heavy, rhythmic bass drop in 'Babylon Is Falling' that anchors the album's roots-reggae foundations.
The sprawling, jam-oriented conclusion of 'Open Road' that lets the instrumentation breathe for over six minutes.
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.
