Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the Sleigh Bells noise-pop guitar crunch to Gambino's high-velocity opening verse on track 1.
The surreal experience of hearing a rap flow perfectly sync with the hazy, chilled-out synth wash of Washed Out on track 3.
A breathless sequence of rapid-fire double entendres that reference everything from 90s sitcoms to obscure indie bands.
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.
