Moments Worth Listening For

The unsettling, mechanical pulse of the percussion on 'Institution Green' that mirrors the sterile hospital setting.

The transition into the lush, string-laden chorus of 'Book of Dreams' that feels like a sudden burst of color in a monochrome film.

The stark, skeletal arrangement of 'Fifty-Fifty Chance' where the vocal feels uncomfortably close and vulnerable.
