Moments Worth Listening For

The transition into the disco-inflected groove of Just the Once that feels like a sudden burst of color.

The sprawling, six-minute build of Days of Oblivion where the synths gradually overtake the vocal melody.

The stark, vulnerable acoustic opening of Nothing Is Perfect that strips away the band's usual electronic armor.
