Moments Worth Listening For
The eerie, shimmering electronic textures that introduce Tesla's Hotel Room, grounding a historical figure in a lonely modern space.
The way the vocal harmonies swell during the chorus of After We Shot the Grizzly, turning a dark narrative into a strange campfire singalong.
The stark, rhythmic pulse of All the Time in Airports that mimics the mechanical indifference of modern travel.
