Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic nine-minute slow burn of 'Woman' where the guitars gradually swell into a psychedelic, reverb-drenched climax.
The sudden shift to a driving, soulful groove on 'Wasted Love' that showcases the band's tight rhythmic pocket.
The way the pedal steel cries behind the vocal on 'Lover Come Back', bridging the gap between indie rock and classic soul.
